<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has kicked off the campaign with a rousing defence of the Turnbull government’s record on border security and a pledge to spend $100 million scrutinising visa applications.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the Coalition’s first big-­ticket spend of the campaign, Mr Dutton sought to leverage what the government considers its key strength — success in stopping the <b>asylum</b>-seeker trade — by ­announcing a new layer of checks, this time for migrants coming through the front door.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A new “visa risk assessment capability’’ will be created inside in the Department of Border ­Protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Mr Dutton, who was due to make the announcement in a speech last night, the new system would “consolidate’’ immigration and border data, ­enabling officials to more easily identify security risks before they grant visas.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Decision-makers will not have to go searching for the information,’’ Mr Dutton said. ‘’It will become an integral part of their processing system.’’ The Australian understands the new system will link up the law ­enforcement and intelligence ­databases of the <span class="companylink">Australian Crime Commission</span>, the <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> and other agencies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The announcement came after Bill Shorten was obliged to shrug-off claims of disunity within Labor ranks over the fraught issue of offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s candidate for the seat of Melbourne, Sophie Ismail, this week broke with party policy, calling publicly for the closure of the <b>asylum</b>-seeker processing centres on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The outburst forced Mr Shorten to reiterate Labor’s support for offshore processing and <b>boat</b> turn-backs, controversially introduced by the Coalition government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Our candidates are good candidates,’’ he said. “I’m proud of my united Labor team but I’m clear what the policy is, as is my team.’’ Mr Dutton said that traditionally visa checks had focused on ­immigration risks; that is whether applicants were likely to overstay or violate the terms of their visas by working.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The new checks would peer more closely at the applicant’s criminal and security profile, he said. “(Decision-makers) need to know much more about visa applicants and whether they pose a threat to the community.’’ Funding for the visa risk-­assessment capability, which comes in at $99.2m, was allocated in the budget, but not announced.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The minister said the new system would facilitate legitimate visa applications by streamlining the process.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Elsewhere in his speech, Mr Dutton hammered Labor on ­border protection, an issue that proved pivotal in the Coalition’s 2013 campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said under Labor more than 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers in more than 800 boats pitched up on Australia’s shores, resulting in an $11 billion hit to the budget. “Unsurprisingly then, Australians lost confidence in the integrity of our borders and in our migration program,’’ Mr Dutton said.Since coming to office, the ­Coalition had turned back 26 boats carrying 710 people, he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The popular independent Senator did not want to divulge which way his candidates would direct crucial preferences, which could decide how seats that include those of prominent Liberals Christopher Pyne and Jamie Briggs could fall.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now three of his House of Representatives candidates say they won’t preference against anyone, and a fourth looks set to join them. Senator Xenophon told The Advertiser yesterday the whole team is “more likely than not” to run open tickets, and will definitely run them in the Senate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People aren’t sheep,” he said. “This gives power back to the voters. For the Senate it’ll be an open ticket . . . it’s more likely than not to be an open ticket (in the lower house) but it’s a question of sitting down and having a discussion with the candidates.” Senator Xenophon received more primary votes than Labor at the last election – almost 25 per cent. In the July 2 election he is expected to get two or three senators elected. It’s also possible he will have a lower- house MP elected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His preferences could have a devastating effect if he chose to send them one way or the other, so while he refuses to spell out his plans he keeps the major parties in thrall.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But a survey by The Advertiser can reveal that Barker candidate James Stacey and Grey candidate Andrea Broadfoot have now joined Mayo candidate Rebekha Sharkie in declaring an open ticket, preferencing neither major party. Kingston candidate Damian Carey also said he was inclined towards keeping an open ticket. But The Advertiser also reveals today NXT is considering preferencing Lab-or in the knife-edge seat of Hindmarsh in return for Lab-or’s preferences in Mayo.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All candidates were open to negative gearing changes, in favour of marriage equality and supported the major parties’ positions on <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> turnbacks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None would say whether they would partner with a major party to form Government in the case of a hung Parliament. Senator Xenophon was “very relaxed” with everything his candidates said and fully supported their views, adding: “An open ticket has always been my first preference.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People don’t understand how consultative the group is and how we work together. “It’s a team. The emphasis is on team – not my name.” Industry Minister Christopher Pyne, the state’s top Liberal, warned yesterday of the “danger” of voting for people such as NXT candidates.“Whether it’s the Greens or whether it’s the Xenophon Team – you don’t know what you’re going to get,” he told listeners on FIVEaa.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">IN the first week of the longest election campaign in nearly 50 years, Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison are in danger of losing the “politics’’ of the superannuation debate.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They will have to spend the next 51 days trying to explain to an increasingly angry electorate why they have moved the goalposts on the superannuation arrangements so many people have made for their retirement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull and Mr Morrison also find themselves floundering to carry their conservative supporters with them on changes that put a cap of $1.6 million on the amount of tax-free super a person can hold in retirement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is also a planned lifetime cap of $500,000 on the amount of after-tax contributions a person can make, backdated to 2007.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Much of the anger facing Mr Turnbull and Mr Morrison is over what is considered the retrospective nature of the changes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Mr Turnbull and Mr Morrison deny the changes are retrospective, their critics remain far from convinced.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The conservative think-tank, the <span class="companylink">Institute of Public Affairs</span>, is decidedly outspoken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Executive director John Roskam says to claim the changes are not retrospective “flies in the face of common sense’’ and “flies in the face of all legal analysis’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The IPA is starting its own campaign against the changes, saying emails it is receiving from its members range from “disappointed and devastated’’ to “white-hot with anger”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull and Mr Morrison also face wavering support from within. Deputy Liberal leader Julie Bishop may have opened the door to the possibility of further changes by talking of measures to deal with “unintended consequences’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Superannuation is a sensitive area for Australians who have worked hard and saved for their retirement and see these changes to super as a stab in the back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Morrison has failed as a “Superman’’, as he was dubbed by one newspaper. He has also flunked as a “Supersalesman’’.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Treasurer has been far from convincing over super changes and faces growing unrest as people within the Coalition push for a rapid rethink.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the Labor Party has reacted strongly to retrospective changes, which shadow treasurer Chris Bowen describes as “deeply objectionable’’, the more strident language is coming form with the Liberal Party’s own ranks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Changing the changes would be a stunning blow to the Coalition campaign, but better now than never. It may lead to a reversal of fortune as resentment builds in the wider electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor would limit tax-free retirement earnings to $75,000 a year and tax earnings above $75,000 at 15 per cent, but without any attempt at retrospectivity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While Mr Morrison struggles to explain his changes, Mr Turnbull is yet to launch a wholehearted attack on weaknesses emerging in other Labor policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten has echoed Julia Gillard’s vow that there will be “no carbon tax’’ under a government he might lead as he promises to double Australia’s emissions reduction target under an emissions trading scheme.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten is also under increasing pressure on Labor’s policy to turn back the people smugglers’ boats, with several of his MPs and now at least two of his candidates declaring their support for bringing <b>asylum</b> seekers to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This follows rumblings from within the ranks of Labor MPs who believe <b>asylum</b> seekers should be brought to Australia rather than held in offshore detention on Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten has had to step in to reaffirm that Labor will not allow a return to the years when its soft policies saw 1200 <b>asylum</b> seekers drown at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The election is there for Mr Shorten and Labor to win and very much for Mr Turnbull and the Coalition to lose.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Voyage of terror THE alleged plan by idiotic jihadists to sail from Australia in a small <b>boat</b> to join <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> terrorists in Syria is likely to invoke mixed emotions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are those who would say let them go, as increasing numbers of terrorists meet their deaths in the Middle East.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But allowing them to go only increases the number of terrorists faced by allied and Australian forces.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As reported in today’s <span class="companylink">Herald</span> Sun, the five men arrested in Far North Queensland were on a watch list after having their Australian passports cancelled. All are said to have been “committed’’ to joining holy way in Syria and had driven from Melbourne towing a <b>boat</b> they were to sail to Indonesia before making their way to the Middle East.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The need for Australians to remain vigilant is stronger than ever as radicalised young men and women try to leave Australia to join terrorist groups.Australia has cancelled some 175 passports and some of these sympathisers while prevented from fighting against allied forces constitute a threat on home soil.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten’s election campaign has been derailed by internal divisions over the Labor Party’s tough policy on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, damaging the Opposition Leader’s credibility on the hot-button issue of stopping the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The schism within Labor ranks was starkly exposed yesterday with Mr Shorten sharing a platform with north Queensland candidate Cathy O’Toole, who attended a protest opposing her party’s border policies only three months ago.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Although Ms O’Toole, Labor’s candidate for the seat of Herbert, offered “100 per cent” support for her leader’s policies, she struggled to deflect questions about her personal views, prompting Mr Shorten to intervene and stop further questions about the embarrassing ideological rift.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We will not be lectured (to) by an opportunistic government who are actually sending a message to peoples-smugglers that somehow there is any division in Australian political government after July 2,” the Mr Shorten said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While he promised to support the turning back of ­<b>asylum</b>-seeker boats whenever border officials deemed it appropriate, his deputy, Tanya Plibersek, said repelling boats and offshore processing might never actually be needed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s something we hope we’ll never have to do, but we have it in our policy in case it’s necessary,” Ms Plibersek told ABC radio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deputy Labor leader ­opposed turnbacks at last year’s “very fierce” ALP national conference. Other Labor figures to ­express concern about the policy in recent days include frontbencher Lisa Singh, senator Sue Lines, Victorian candidates Eric Kerr and Sophie Ismail, and retiring MPs Melissa Parke, Anna Burke and Jill Hall.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said Labor MPs were in “open defiance” over <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He criticised Labor’s rhetoric of an “option” for turnbacks and offshore processing as “pretty weak”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The trouble for Labor is they can’t hold that position in government and Tanya Plibersek, Anthony Albanese — all of these people would be sitting around the national security committee and they would be arguing against the prime minister of the day, Mr Shorten, and the policy would fall apart,” Mr Dutton told Sydney’s 2GB radio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Immigration Minister said it had been 650 days since a ­people-smuggling vessel had successfully arrived in Australia and only the Coalition had turned back boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve turned back 26 boats since the start of Operation ­Sovereign Borders,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten insisted voters could trust him to rebuff the Left faction’s demands for a softer ­policy because “unlike Mr Turnbull, I run my party”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Unlike Mr Turnbull, who doesn’t have a united party, we ­debated these issues out at our ­national conference,” the Opposition Leader told ABC radio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People of goodwill have different views about the best way to, one, defeat the people-smugglers and stop the drownings at sea and, two, make sure that we’re not putting people in a situation of semi-indefinite detention.” Labor frontbencher Chris Bowen, a former immigration minister, acknowledged his colleagues “want to do the right thing” by <b>asylum</b>-seekers, but his “moral compass” told him to ­ensure the <b>refugee</b> program was safe and orderly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Those of us who have served in the portfolio, who have served in the cabinet, who have spoken to survivors of the capsizing, <b>boat</b> sinkings, know the human cost, just as the frontline servicemen and women who pulled people out of the ocean do,” the opposition Treasury spokesman told the ­<span class="companylink">National Press Club</span> in Canberra yesterday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“My moral compass — our moral compass — points us very clearly to inviting more refugees to Australia in a safe and orderly process, so that we never have to go back to the situation where an immigration minister is taking the call at two o’clock in the morning when another <b>boat</b> is sinking. We cannot countenance that.” Mr Albanese, who opposed turnbacks at the national conference and is fighting the Greens in his inner-west Sydney seat of Grayndler, said the ALP’s offshore processing policy was “not that different” from that of Greens spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young, who advocates checking <b>asylum</b>-seekers’ claims in Indonesia and Malaysia. Labor has promised to almost double the <b>refugee</b> intake to 27,000 a year, increase funding to the <span class="companylink">UN <b>Refugee</b> Agency</span> and establish independent oversight of welfare in offshore detention centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In February, Ms O’Toole protested outside the office of Ewen Jones, the Liberal MP for Herbert, holding a placard that read “Let them stay”, the slogan used by ­activists who oppose the Rudd government’s policy of banning <b>boat</b> arrivals from being resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked if that jarred with her new-found “100 per cent support” for the ALP’s policies, she said: “What I was saying at that point in time is very clearly, and I’ll say it again: I support the humane treatment of people, regardless of whether they’re refugees or not; we treat people humanely.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m really here today to talk about education with Bill Shorten and (opposition education spokeswoman) Kate Ellis, but what I will say is, and I’ll be really clear, I support Labor’s policy; it is the best ­option that we have.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Greens will aim to win seats in our own right without preferences with anyone — that is what we are aiming to do in Melbourne and that’s what we aim to do in Wills and Batman,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“People need to understand very clearly what is going on here; this is Labor abjectly begging the Liberals for help in order to stay in parliament and the Greens are coming through as the true voice of people who live in Melbourne.’’ Melbourne is an increasingly affluent electorate that spreads from East Melbourne to Ascot Vale and Carlton, encompassing suburbs that in some cases were working class and now are inner-city havens for the wealthy.

Malcolm Turnbull has pounced on the threat of a hung parliament to accuse Bill Shorten of wanting to “re-enact” the Gillard government’s alliance with the Greens, warning it would see the revival of <b>boat</b> arrivals and a resurrection of the carbon tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The attack from the Prime Minister came amid a spat between the two parties of the Left over whether they would again enter into a coalition to form minority government.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Attempting to kill the speculation — and the spectre of Julia Gillard’s 2010 coalition with the Greens and independent MPs — the Opposition Leader said the minor party was “dreaming” if it thought Labor would be prepared to negotiate in the event of a hung parliament.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor will fight this election to form its own government and to form a government in our own right,” he said yesterday while campaigning in Queensland.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Labor will not be going into ­coalition with any party.” In another distraction for Mr Shorten, whose campaign has ­already been rocked by division on <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy, the Greens insisted Australians would expect the parties to negotiate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Bill Shorten can say that we’re dreaming — sometimes dreams come true,” Melbourne Greens MP Adam Bandt said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“And if the Australian people decide that they want a parliament where there are more than two voices who largely say the same thing, then the obligation is on all of us to work together.” Further undermining Mr Shorten’s claim, Greens senator Nick McKim pointed to similar remarks made in Tasmania before that state’s Labor Party entered into a coalition with the Greens in 2010 and he was appointed minister for climate change. “In fact the Labor premier at the time was describing me as the devil and he would never do a deal with the devil, and about three weeks later I was sitting around the cabinet table with him,” he told Sky News.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Seizing on Mr Bandt’s reflection that the 2010 minority Gillard government was seen as “one of the most productive in Australia’s history”, Mr Turnbull said the Greens viewed that dysfunctional time as a “golden era”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We’ve heard from Adam Bandt from the Greens that he’s looking forward to a hung parliament. He’s said the three years between 2010 and 2013 were effectively a golden era (and) he looked back to that with affection,” he said. “Most Australians look back to it with a degree of horror, let’s face it.” Mr Turnbull said there was “no chance” the Liberals would form government with the Greens, but said “Labor can’t and Labor won’t” rule it out because they were on the same page.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If we have another hung parliament, it will be the Greens and Labor back into business. It will be same old Labor, same old deal with the Greens, Julia Gillard’s government being re-enacted by Bill Shorten,” he said. This would put “people-smugglers back in business” and revive the carbon tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Why would we run the risk of having another Labor-Greens-­independents government, another hung parliament, which is plainly within the contemplation of the Labor Party, which is plainly within the enthusiastic contemplation of the Greens,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We know what the price will be. People-smugglers back in business, much higher taxes — even than those contemplated by Labor — and a much higher carbon tax.” Labor deputy leader Tanya Plibersek agreed Australians would be “horrified” by the idea of a hung parliament and said the carbon tax was a “very clear example” of a compromise policy negotiated with the Greens that “didn’t serve the country well”.“We did get through a lot … we legislated well when we had a hung parliament but it was extraordinarily difficult,” she told ABC radio. “Some of the compromises that we made cost us quite dearly during that time in government.”</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">ALP’s drift to left ultimately will alienate the mainstream</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens Leader Richard Di Natale must get sick of the conflicting messages from his Labor counterpart. Does Bill Shorten want former Greens partners close or pushed away? We might expect Mr Di Natale at any moment to break into the song by the Clash; “So you got to let me know, should I stay or should I go?” Mr Shorten does need to make up his mind. Just days into the campaign his party’s constant footsies with the green left are compromising Labor’s authority. The opposition leader is trying to please everyone whereas Mr Di Natale doesn’t need to bother with such compromises. As the Clash sings; “If I go there will be trouble and if I stay there will be double.” Economic management, climate change and border security loom as the central issues for the campaign and they are the areas where the Greens influence is strong. Labor MPs and candidates loyal to its Socialist Left faction, or attracted by its ideological positions, find themselves outdone daily by the unrestrained rhetoric of the Greens. In a competition for emotive posturing, evangelical activism or anti-capitalist ranting they cannot compete. And the Greens are coming after their seats. But Mr Shorten and the ALP hierarchy, desperate to keep everyone in the fold, pander to their whims; so the unwise drift to the left continues and Labor’s mainstream credentials are undermined.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This political evolution, under way since Labor courted preferences from the Democrats and environmental parties to win the 1990 election, has accelerated since the rise of the Greens. Then Julia Gillard and Bob Brown signed a virtual coalition arrangement to help secure minority government for Labor in 2010. The policy consequences were damaging for the nation and politically disastrous for the ALP. Ms Gillard broke a clear election promise by imposing a carbon tax, spending ran rampant and little effort was made to combat people-smuggling. The Greens repaid Labor by embarrassing it over its conservative approach to gay marriage. This is the lesson for Labor — whatever it does to appease the green left, they will always want more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Di Natale now holds out hope of partnering Labor again, in the event of a hung parliament. He flatly rejects the Coalition on the grounds they have been too “cruel” to <b>asylum</b>-seekers and haven’t done enough on climate. Mr Shorten is confronted with a potential coalition partner publicly attracted to him because he will be softer on borders and spend more on climate policy. With friends like this, his enemies rub their hands together — so he has rebuked the Greens saying they “are dreaming”. But voters surely know Labor and the Greens would always talk turkey.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within Labor’s own ranks, there remains a lack of conviction about crucial policies and an ever-present temptation to identify with the virtue-signalling but impractical policies of the Greens. It is no accident that the latest outbreak on border protection has come from a candidate, Sophie Ismail, who is trying to win a seat from the Greens. At least eight ALP MPs or candidates now have publicly opposed Labor’s border protection policies. And yesterday Labor’s Deputy Leader, Tanya Plibersek, who opposed last year’s policy change to embrace <b>boat</b> turnbacks, said it is something she hopes “we’ll never have to do”. Mr Shorten has to convince voters that despite the doubts and defiance in his own party, Labor would have the resolve to implement the <b>boat</b> turnback policy. For a nation scarred by the chaos, trauma, tragedy and expense of failed border policies, this is a serious concern. For the Prime Minister, it is a political gift. “If you doubt Bill Shorten’s ability to keep our borders secure given the dissension in his backbench and in his own party,” Malcolm Turnbull said yesterday, “consider what it would be like if we have the same old Labor with the same old deal with the Greens.” On climate policy too, Labor wants to argue it would be more proactive than the Coalition — at an unspecified cost to consumers — but must worry that the cosy words from the Greens creates the impression it might go too far. Likewise on economic management and social policy. Labor wants to run a fairness attack against the government but doesn’t want to give the impression it would be as radically redistributive as the Greens, who are unencumbered by the accountability that comes with the ability to win power. Labor wants their preferences, so courts Greens approval, but must resist its policy direction and ensure it differentiates for mainstream consumption. It is a Faustian deal and, sooner or later, Labor will realise its only strategy is to rediscover and stand for its own mainstream values.At least Mr Di Natale is frank about who he would install in the event of a hung parliament. All candidates should emulate this, including Senate hopefuls such as Nick Xenophon who support lower house running mates. The 2010 shambles taught us that post-election wheeling and dealing is not conducive to good governance. Voters deserve to make informed choices, knowing which major party candidates will favour.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The best laid plans can go awry in the heat of an election campaign. On day two, Bill Shorten was discombobulated by a bit of mischief-making by Coalition HQ.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Opposition Leader wanted to talk about education. Specifically, how much more money each electorate would get for schools under a Labor government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A hard-working staffer somewhere had even compiled a nifty seat-by-seat breakdown showing the dollar figures for each electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Mr Shorten was instead peppered by questions about <b>asylum</b>-seekers. Again. The catalyst this time was a picture of local candidate for Herbert Cathy O'Toole holding up a placard reading: "Let them stay."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The picture, which first appeared on <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> back in February, was sent via text to journalists travelling with Mr Shorten in the hours before the Opposition Leader held his first news conference of the day.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was enough to force Mr Shorten off message and on to his least favourite topic. Again. The day before, Mr Shorten faced questions over another candidate's refusal to fall into line with the party's stated policy on turning back boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Ms O'Toole took questions alongside Mr Shorten, she used careful language. "I can say to you that Labor will put money into the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> to ensure that we are supporting people and not being left in camps for decades." A reporter pressed: "But you don't support <b>boat</b> turnbacks?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I support the Labor policy that says we will not be allowing people to put their lives at risk, to be exploited and to come to this country when we can make an alternative arrangement for them," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor wants an election focused on education and has promised $3.8 billion extra for schools in 2018 and 2019, $48 million of which will be directed to the North Queensland electorate of Herbert, which takes in Townsville.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Opposition education spokeswoman Kate Ellis accompanied Mr Shorten on a visit to Heatley State School in Townsville's south-west. She said the Turnbull government wanted to swamp Labor's agenda with talk about boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We're happy to put forward our policy in that regard, but we know that where there is the biggest difference at this election is in education policy and we'll be making that very clear," she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Herbert, Ms O'Toole is up against the LNP's Ewen Jones, who holds the seat by a margin of about 6 per cent.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's always a bit of a shock - particularly in election campaigns - when a politician actually just answers the question. It's even more of a shock when he gives a considered and coherent answer.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the prime minister and his colleagues were out on the hustings on Tuesday saying "blah blah blah", economic plan, etc etc, Labor's Chris Bowen gave his address in reply to the budget. And then he actually answered journalists' questions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His performance marked an early trend in this election campaign: Labor might be suffering in the retail political space from questions about <b>asylum</b> seeker policy (thanks very much Labor candidate for the seat of Melbourne); and from suggestions that it might form another minority government with the Greens (thanks very much Adam Bandt).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it is clearly creaming the government on substance. Labor is releasing policies and policy detail. The government is on the backfoot on superannuation, and flailing about in slogans just ever so on its grand economic plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bowen is one of those Labor frontbenchers who speaks with the confidence and authority of someone who has recently done the actual job in government - he was after all, however, briefly, Labor's last treasurer before the 2013 election defeat.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Scott Morrison, by comparison, has had three jobs in three years and still talks like he has left his freshly-painted framework of policy principles out on the back verandah to dry off.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bowen told the <span class="companylink">National Press Club</span> that Labor would release full costings of its policies before election day, over four years and 10 years. He said a Labor government would bring forward the mid-year review of the budget, because "I want to see a budget and economic statement in the first three months used to implement our policies, not walk away from them".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He had an utterly reasonable explanation of why Labor once supported company tax cuts, but won't now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And an equally reasonable explanation for why it isn't backing Coalition moves to cap superannuation entitlements - because their retrospective nature will undermine confidence in the super system - even if Labor's own policies aim to achieve the same restraints on top-end super.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, Labor wouldn't be putting a debt ceiling in place but, yes, he suggested it might revive the push to 12 per cent compulsory super frozen by the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was all very no-nonsense, all from a clearly framed view of policy priorities.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ultimate reassurance the Coalition might have that it has a chance of winning this long campaign is that voters will ultimately not be prepared to consider yet another change of government and prime minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the risk it faces, if these very early trends continue, is that Labor will do a much better job of looking like it is in control of events, that it knows what it is doing than the government of the day. Those images can blast away government advantage, as well as memories of the Rudd-Gillard era.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is why issues that dredge up those memories are so potent and why it is so telling that the Coalition is already leaping on them with such alacrity, whether it be blowing up loose comments from Labor candidates into a threat that the party will divide and go soft on <b>boat</b> people, or (much more dangerous for Labor) will end up in government with the Greens.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In return, the Greens would issue open tickets — not preferencing Labor ahead of the Liberals — in outer-suburban seats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The final deal on those seats has not been done, but talks revolve around Liberal seats Corangamite and Dunkley, and Labor marginals Chisholm and Bruce.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Preferencing is where a party tells its voters in what order to number the candidates on the ballot paper.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The move is being driven by the Liberal Party’s Victorian president, Michael Kroger, who is aiming to force Labor to divert cash and resources into fighting the Greens in the inner city instead of the Liberals in the outer suburbs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the high-stakes strategy also risks alienating conservative Liberal voters and infuriating party activists who hate the thought of the party ­cutting a deal with its arch enemies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The move would also place the seat of Wills, being contested by Peter Khalil after long-time incumbent Kelvin Thomson retired, under real threat from the Greens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Feeney, a key Labor strategist and numbers man, and sometime factional ally of Opposition Leader Bill Shorten, said he knew about the deal, adding: “The practical effect will be that Batman and Wills will be very close contests.’’ Liberal preferences in the seat of Melbourne would lock in the incumbent, the Greens’ Adam Bandt, and allow the “Bandt machine to roll in to the neighbouring seats of Wills and Batman’’, Mr Feeney said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The Greens’ preferences will elect Liberals in the outer suburbs,’’ he said. Batman stretches from Clifton Hill to north of Reservoir, and Wills is also in Melbourne’s north.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">CONTINUED PAGE 6 FROM PAGE 1 Mr Kroger declined to comment, but it is known he is negotiating with several parties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Victorian Greens state director Larissa Brown claimed there was no deal with the Liberals, but did not deny plans to issue open tickets in the Liberal and Labor marginal seats in the outer suburbs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have already said this quite a few times, already. We won’t be preferencing the Liberals,’’ said Ms Brown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“An open ticket is asking voters to have a think about who they’d like to vote for.’’ Asked if she had been having discussions with Mr Kroger, Ms Brown replied: “We have conversations with all parties. We will be working to win Batman and Wills off our primary vote, not on preferences.’’ It is understood Labor was briefed in the past fortnight by its negotiating team that the Greens were going to do a deal with the Liberals in Batman, Wills and Melbourne, and likely in the NSW seats of Grayndler and Sydney, held by senior Labor figures Anthony Albanese and Tanya Plibersek.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A senior Labor source said the Greens’ national negotiators had told Labor counterparts: “We can talk to you about everywhere except Victoria ... we have other arrangements there. We believe this is in Batman, Wills, and Melbourne just for insurance.’’ The Greens’ candidate in Batman is social worker Alex Bhathal, who stood against Mr Feeney in 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Feeney gained 54,009 votes (41.29 per cent), while Ms Bhathal got 35,105 votes and (39.39). Liberal George Souris, came third with 20.017 votes, meaning the 22.46 per cent of the vote he won would be enough to get the Greens home if the voters followed how-to-vote cards.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The internal flare up on an issue that was central to Labor’s defeat at the last election in 2013 came as Immigration Minister Peter Dutton revealed yesterday that a <b>boat</b> had been successfully turned back last week from Australian waters.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Senior Labor frontbencher Anthony Albanese yesterday did not back Mr Shorten’s tough stance on <b>asylum</b> seekers when confronted with questions about rebels in the party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another Labor frontbencher, Andrew Leigh, said there as “clear differences” between both parties on the issue of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s candidate for Cowan in Melbourne, Anne Aly joined the backlash saying: “I support Labor’s stance to move towards a more humane and humanitarian approach to border protection.” Labor’s candidate for Higgins in Melbourne Corey Rabaut recently tweeted that the German Neo-Nazi party had endorsed Australia’s current <b>refugee</b> policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Labor candidate for Bass in Tasmania, Ross Hart, has also said in the past that he would vote against turnbacks.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australians should be reassured, and people smugglers and the criminal syndicates on notice, whatever happens after July 2, they’re not back in business.” He said he would “not be turned” on his policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton yesterday accused Labor of being eternally divided in the issue and tried to warn that a return to Labor would be a return to people dying at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There were 50,000 people who arrived on 800 boats, and 1200 people who drowned at sea when Labor was last in government,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Mr Shorten now has a test of his leadership on Day 1 of the campaign to come out and condemn the comments of these seven backbenchers and members of the Labor Party who are obviously opposed to the Labor Party policy when it comes to border protection.“This Government has stopped the boats and we’ve got every child out of detention. That is a very significant outcome.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Mr Shorten wants people to believe, as Kevin Rudd did, at the commencement of the 2007 campaign, that if elected, Labor would just continue the policies which had been successful in stopping the boats," Mr Dutton said.</p>

Tony Abbott has vowed to do nothing to hurt the Coalition's re-election prospects, but he would have been seething at Turnbull imploring voters to "keep the course" and "stay the distance" - which, after all, was his plea to his colleagues in September.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull has eight weeks to convince voters to back his plan, and the Fairfax-Ipsos poll shows he starts as overwhelming favourite in the eyes of voters. But the Coalition's charismatic communicator has one clear disadvantage when he takes on Bill Shorten. Shorten has spent the last 1000 days developing his policies and refining his pitch.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is a measure of his confidence he was the one who repeatedly spoke about "trust" in his opening salvo, but defined it in his terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Trust Labor to take real action on climate change," he declared, before noting Turnbull had not mentioned the issue once when he set out the choice to be made on July 2.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten is still 32 points behind Turnbull as preferred prime minister and still has a net approval rating with a minus sign in front of it, but he has come along way since October.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull has been in the job seven months and, for the last three, has struggled to find his voice. When, for instance, he conflated national security with stopping <b>asylum</b> seekers boats and spoke about the commitment to keep "our borders safe", was this the real Malcolm or a leader saying what he believes he has to say.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten's weaknesses are Labor's record of dysfunction under Kevin Rudd and Julia Gillard, the generally low opinion voters have of him and the electorate's view of the Coalition as superior economic managers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull's vulnerabilities are that he can be painted as out of touch from the concerns of the commuters he sees on the bus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Late last year, the only question in national politics was how big the Turnbull victory would be.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now, with the Fairfax-Ipsos poll showing the parties more or less on level pegging, the expectation is that Turnbull will find his rhythm over the eight weeks and secure a comfortable win, but don't bet on it.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull will seek his own mandate as Prime Minister for his 10- year economic plan in a pitch to the aspirational after yesterday officially calling a double dissolution poll.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">However, he has his work cut out as the Coalition enters the campaign trailing Labor 49/51 on a two-party preferred basis, according to the latest Newspoll published by The Australian newspaper today.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Marking out his campaign turf as the only leader who could be trusted to better manage the economy, secure our borders and keep the country safe, the PM warned of a return to the past under Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Labor leader Bill Shorten has launched immediately into negative territory, claiming he would not support raising the tax-cut threshold for small business, or tax cuts for higher income earners, and that only Labor could be trusted to deliver fairness Both leaders have now officially embarked on an eight-week war of attrition with both parties heading into the campaign deadlocked in the polls.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull got a headstart on the Labor leader, jetting out of Canberra within hours of calling the election and heading straight to Queensland — which shares the key battleground status with Western Sydney.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten will be in hot pursuit and will head north this morning. Mr Turnbull arrived at Yarralumla at 1pm yesterday to advise the Governor-general Sir Peter Cosgrove of a double dissolution election for July 2.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 55-day campaign will be the longest in 50 years and the first double-dissolution election since 1987.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it will also be one of the hardest-fought contests, with both leaders claiming the future and prosperity of the country is at stake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull launched his pitch at the aspirations of middle Australia, championing his economic plan — outlined in last week’s federal Budget — for tax cuts for middle-income earners and small to medium businesses to fuel a new economic boom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“At this election, Australians will have a very clear choice; to keep the course, maintain the commitment to our national economic plan for growth and jobs, or go back to Labor, with its higher taxing, higher spending, debt and deficit agenda, which will stop our nation’s transition to the new economy dead in its tracks,” the Prime Minister said at Parliament House.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We live in an era when the scale and pace of economic change is unprecedented through all of human history. The opportunities for Australia have never been greater.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There are many challenges. But if we embrace this future with confidence and with optimism, with self-belief and a clear plan, then we will succeed as we have never succeeded before.” Mr Turnbull warned a return to Labor would be a repeat of the Rudd-Gillard era that saw the collapse of our borders and 50,000 <b>asylum</b>-seekers arrive by <b>boat</b>, with 1200 dying at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister stood by the ­Coalition’s record on national security and the restoration of almost $1 billion in cuts to spy and counter-terrorism agencies that had been made by the previous Labor government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also said homeowners would have to ­decide whether they wanted the value of their homes to plummet under Labor’s policy of scaling back negative gearing, Mr Shorten agreed it was an election campaign that presented a stark choice for voters. “Labor’s priorities and the way we have approached budget repair is that it has to be fair,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We will do budget repair that is fair, we have proposed making sure that we don’t spend the wasteful money that this — my opponent, this current government wishes to do, on giving big business tax cuts.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have proposed not spending and handing back money in the form of tax cuts for people on a million dollars a year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have proposed saving money to the budget bottom line, by reforming negative gearing and capital gains tax laws, which mean that Australians aren’t having to face a choice between having hospitals and schools cut.” Mr Shorten was in the small town of Beauty Point to share a beer with former miners Brant Webb and Todd Russell — 10 years after he rose to national prominence as the face of the Beaconsfield mining disaster.Mr Shorten said he was inspired by the great Australian story of tragedy and triumph that had been the Beaconsfield mine rescue.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">With the election under way the ABC gets serious about objectivity and fairness. They start a silly little process to measure airtime for each side, putting a stopwatch on coverage and keeping a tally. It says a lot about the national broadcaster’s failure to comprehend these issues. It seems more of an effort to avoid criticism than to deliver objective coverage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This column has noted how ABC interviewers can curl their lips and snarl at most Coalition MPs, saving smiles, giggles and Dorothy-Dixers for Labor, Greens and Malcolm Turnbull. But, as ever, we give credit where it’s due. On 7.30 last week, Leigh Sales was perfectly polite but tough to Bill Shorten after his budget reply speech.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We had that favourable combination of entertaining TV and substantive discourse. Given the occasional sparring between the ABC and this journal, MWW can’t resist making a little observation about some of Sales’ material. There was a refreshing logic and a familiar ring to some of her questions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was especially evident to those who had read the editorial of this paper that day. This is no criticism, rather a compliment about the reading habits of Sales and/or the 7.30 team.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The editorial criticised the Labor leader’s contribution to the economic debate. “The idea that the budget is an annual opportunity for Canberra to tip dollops of money into the pockets of people dependent, in one way or another, on taxpayers’ funds is as simplistic as it is unrealistic,” said The Australian. “You seem upset that the budget isn’t giving every last Australian a direct handout,” said Sales. “Is that your idea of responsible economic stewardship?” The Australian invoked Monty Python to challenge Shorten’s suggestion that most people got nothing from the budget: with due deference to Reg from The Life of Brian, Mr Shorten might rephrase that: OK, apart from education, health, infrastructure, roads, defence and welfare, most people get nothing out of the budget. Sales took up that point: “Let’s have a look also at your claim that Australians on lower incomes are getting nothing or are not getting enough. Overlooking the fact they get health, education, roads, defence as a given every budget …” And the editorial slammed Labor’s efforts to blur the difference between payments received from the government and privately earned money retained by taxpayers. “This is a deliberately deceptive ploy that treats privately earned money as some sort of communal asset in the same class as funds collected from taxpayers and distributed to others.” Again, Sales put a similar argument to Shorten. “But the people who are getting tax subsidies are actually paying the taxes that pay for the other people who aren’t paying any tax to have child care.” Good interview; good arguments; good research.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While we are handing out praise to the publicly funded green left, let’s have a look at these sensible words about the border protection debate from the former MediaWatch host, Jonathan Holmes, now writing for The Age: “I still see the opposition to <b>boat</b> people dismissed by <b>refugee</b> advocates as “racist”. That’s a fundamental misunderstanding. Australia is rightly proud of its immigration program. It has created one of the most diverse and successful multi-ethnic nations in the world. The reason the <b>boat</b> people had to be stopped was that — justifiably or otherwise — they were undermining Australians’ belief in a fair and orderly immigration program.” This shows a markedly better insight into the public understanding of the issue than what Holmes showed in 2010 when he worked for the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Still, it was a good piece, accepting the rationale and benefits, humanitarian and otherwise, of strong borders — even if he couldn’t resist questioning others’ motives or praising the bleeding hearts who helped to cause all the chaos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">My question is why haven’t we heard this before?Why when people were drowning and centres were full, did Holmes hold his counsel? Why did he not make this case earlier, for instance, before Labor backflipped? Surely not groupthink — we would hope — or solidarity, or timidity?</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Opposition Leader talked up Labor’s “fairness’’ agenda and sought to whitewash Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull from the campaign, referring him to him repeatedly as “my opponent”.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also sought to define the campaign as a battle between a Coalition Government only looking after the rich, and a Labor Party that ensured there was a “fair go for everyone”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This election is much more than a choice between parties and personalities,” he said. “This election is a choice about what sort of Australia that we want to live in.” Mr Shorten kicked off the day in his home city of Melbourne with confirmation Labor would allow new mothers to have access to both private and public paid parental leave schemes.</p>

MALCOLM Turnbull has kicked off the eight-week election campaign with a warning to Australia that it cannot afford the big policies promised by Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Prime Minister yesterday formally called on Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove to dissolve both ­houses of parliament and send the nation to a double-dissolution election on July 2. In an 18-minute pitch to voters, Mr Turnbull urged Australia to choose stability and allow the Government to continue its economic plan.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In contrast, Opposition Leader Bill Shorten’s call to voters was one of fairness, with the Labor leader saying only his party would look out for voters across the economic spectrum.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both said Australia faced a “clear choice’’ when going to the polls. “During this election campaign, my opponent Mr Shorten will undoubtedly make very big promises or continue to make very big promises of higher spending,’’ Mr Turnbull said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I ask Australians when they hear these promises from him and from Labor to remember that Labor has no credible or coherent way to pay for them, other than through more debt and higher taxes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I will be seeking a mandate from the Australian people as the Prime Minister of this country to carry out this plan because we know that it will clear the way … for us to have the greatest years in our nation’s history.” CONTINUED PAGE 4 FROM PAGE 1 Mr Turnbull criticised Labor’s plans to wind back negative gearing and accused them of “standing in the way of investment’’ and jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What Labor left us with was a mountain of debt and a trajectory of structural deficits that imposed a larger and larger burden on our children and our grandchildren,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Everything Labor is doing is absolutely calculated to stop our economic progress in its tracks. That is why we are asking the Australian people for the privilege of governing this country for three more years to secure our ­prosperity, to secure our future.’’ After five prime ministers in five years, Mr Turnbull indicated the nation needed stability as the economy moved out of the mining boom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PM last night fast-tracked his election travel plans, boarding a plane for a marginal seat blitz due to start in Queensland. Both sides launched their prime-time TV advertising campaigns last night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten caught a commercial flight to Tasmania where he had a beer with Todd Russell and Brant Webb, the two Tasmanian miners trapped underground for two weeks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was this human drama that gave Mr Shorten, then a union secretary, the national profile that helped propel him into politics, and within a whisker of the Lodge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Let’s be clear, this election isn’t about Mr Turnbull or myself,’’ Mr Shorten said. “It is about the Australian people. We are definitely ready. We are in this to win it.’’ Mr Shorten is also believed to be heading to Queensland this morning. Labor needs to pick up 21 seats to win an outright majority, and most of those seats lie in Sydney’s west and regional Queensland, where the leaders are expected to spend a large part of the campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull also used his press conference after leaving Government House to highlight Labor’s failure to commission naval vessels and submarines, and reminding Australia of the 50,000 <b>asylum</b> seekers who arrived by <b>boat</b> under Labor.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS Reform the taxation of trusts as well as negative gearing and super.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one is making any commitment to return the budget to surplus by a particular date. Both major parties are promising savings, but are also promising to spend most of them. The Coalition will save on superannuation tax concessions but will spend on company tax cuts. Labor will save on super and negative gearing concessions and by continuing the temporary deficit reduction levy but will spend on restoring promised funding to schools and hospitals. Each will continue to subcontract month-to-month management of the economy to the Reserve Bank. The Greens will reform the taxation of trusts as well as superannuation and negative gearing and will also introduce a resource rent tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Tax and superannuation</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS Oppose company and income tax cuts, remove negative gearing, remove "fossil fuel subsidies".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition pledges tax relief for small business, extending to a cut to a 25 per cent tax rate for all businesses by 2026-27. The negative gearing and capital gains concessions would stay, but more high earners would pay the extra tax on super, tighter limits on super and a (high) limit on how much earnings would be exempt from tax in retirement. Labor backs some of these changes, and also backs the Coalition's plan to lift the income threshold for the second-highest personal rate from $80,000 to $87,000 and supports the Coalition's Britain-style "<span class="companylink">Google</span> tax".</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS Increase funding for disabled students by $4.8 billion over four years, cut uni fees by 20 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten has made education central to his pitch, with Labor has committed to the Gonski school funding plan, spending an extra $37 billion over the next decade. It has vowed not to cut university funding or deregulate fees, while cracking down on dodgy private colleges. The Coalition won't spend as much on schools as Labor, but has tipped in an extra $1.2 billion over three years. It says its funding promises, linked to new testing for Year 1 students and performance pay for teachers, will deliver better results for less money. It has taken full university deregulation off the table.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Leadership</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COALITION</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull, 61: Turnbull has significantly greater parliamentary experience than his rivals. Has been PM for less than a year (since September) though he previously led the opposition for just</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">over a year in 2008-09. However he has never led the party through an election campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten, 48: Initially a poor prospect against Turnbull, Shorten has gained in confidence since the start of the year, and Labor's fortunes have turned around. Stability, persistence and policy daring have worked to Shorten's advantage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Richard Di Natale, 45: The Greens leader has emerged from relative obscurity to become a confident player on the national political stage. The smooth transition from previous leader Christine Milne stands in stark contrast to the Liberals, and to Labor's Rudd-Gillard-Rudd era.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COALITION Maintain offshore detention, <b>asylum</b> seeker <b>boat</b> turn-backs and temporary protection visas, increase humanitarian intake to 18,750 by 2018-19.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS Abolish offshore detention centres and TPVs, increase humanitarian intake to 50,000 a year from 2017.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The close alignment of the government and Labor could nullify the issue. But the debate was recently revived after two refugees at Nauru set themselves alight and a PNG court ruled that detention at Manus Island was illegal. Debate over border protection is likely play well for the government, allowing it to remind voters that it "stopped the boats" and drownings at sea that occurred under Labor. Labor took a harder line on <b>asylum</b> seekers at its 2015 national conference but is frequently reluctant to draw attention to the <b>asylum</b> seeker issue given its record on <b>boat</b> arrivals.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Industrial relations</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COALITION Restore the Australian Building and Construction Commission, create a Registered Organisations Commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR Opposes ABCC and Registered Organisations Commission.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS Tackle job insecurity</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition will argue during the campaign that restoring the ABCC, in particular, is a crucial economic measure that will restore law and order on building sites and boost productivity. It will also highlight the abolition of the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal (RSRT), which had set so called "safe rates" for truck drivers. Labor and the Greens will both argue that the ABCC unfairly targets the construction union, and represents an attack on workers rights, and that the abolition of the RSRT will place truckies' lives at risk. Labor and the unions will likely claim that the Coalition plans to bring back John Howard's dreaded Work Choices policies. All three parties will make further announcements on new industrial relations policies during the campaign; look out for Labor to make one that pitches directly to small business.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Housing Affordability</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COALITION No change to tax arrangements.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR No negative gearing for existing dwellings purchased after July 1, 2017, although tax break stays for investors in new homes. Capital gains tax discount cut to 25 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS End negative gearing and phase out capital gains tax discount by 2020.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Housing affordability will be a major battleground in the election campaign, especially in Sydney and Melbourne, where house prices have surged dramatically leaving young people in despair. There are stark policy differences between the major parties. The Coalition says the best way to improve housing affordability is for state governments to boost housing supply and for parents to help their kids buy homes. Labor dismisses the Coalition attack as a scare campaign and argues its policy will have a moderate downward effect on home prices. It says the policy encourage new home building while striking a blow against growing inter-generational inequality.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Climate change</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COALITION A 26-28 per cent cut in emissions on 2005 levels by 2030; 28 per cent clean energy by 2020</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS A 63-82 per cent cut in emissions on 2005 levels by 2030; 23 per cent clean energy by 2020</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The election is shaping as the second in a row to feature climate change as a major battleground. Labor has not been afraid to differentiate itself from the government on the issue and will have to fend off a scare campaign over electricity prices, economic stagnation and claims that its emissions trading scheme is a new "carbon tax". Mr Turnbull, who was stripped of his role as opposition leader in 2009 for backing an emissions trading scheme, now says his government's Direct Action plan - which pays polluters to cut emissions - is the right policy. However the emissions reduction targets he inherited from his predecessor have been criticised for being too weak and Mr Shorten says his policy will create jobs and investment in renewable energy.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS A ban on for-profit corporate donations and a cap on election expenditure. Disclosure of political donations above $1000 as close as possible to real time. Greens senator Lee Rhiannon has been urging the Coalition and Labor to commit to political donation reform in response to the latest political donation scandal involving the NSW state and federal Liberal Party and Cabinet Secretary Arthur Sinodinos. The issue has not appeared on the official Coalition agenda, despite a request from Premier Mike Baird last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Same-sex marriage</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">GREENS No plebiscite, vote into law as soon as possible</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The major parties remain wary of irking socially conservative voters in marginal seats. Mr Turnbull personally supports change, but is locked into the policy agreed under Mr Abbott of a nationwide plebiscite if re-elected. Politically, Labor is hampered by its slow and checkered path to its current position. Mr Shorten will argue a vote for Labor will make marriage equality a reality, while the government will tell the public it's going to give them the opportunity to decide for themselves.</p>

But despite the Australian Republican Movement campaigning and recruiting high profile members, the issue has again fallen by the wayside. While there is plenty of backing among Labor, Greens and Liberal MPs, they see the issue as less pressing than others. Mr Turnbull, who led the "yes" campaign at the 1999 referendum, now says the country should wait until the Queen's reign ends. Support among the general population has flatlined at about 42 per cent as young royals have captured imaginations.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In his novel Blindness, José Saramago asks us to imagine a world where one by one, people lose their sight. The epidemic triggers apocalyptic scenes of panic, cruelty, disorder and, eventually, the breakdown of society. It's fiction, of course. After all, how could the whole world go blind?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's what I used to think.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After visiting the Kara Tepe camp in Lesbos, Greece, last week to meet a group of refugees and to support the life-saving work of the <span class="companylink">International Rescue Committee</span>, I think truth could be stranger than fiction. In fact, I'm thinking about writing a sister novel to Saramago's.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I'd call it Deafness. Because no one is listening.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one's listening to the nearly 155,000 refugees who have risked their lives to reach Greece since the start of this year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one's listening to Maha, the bright and articulate 24-year-old gynaecologist trainee from Raqqa, Syria. For nearly four years, she defied the odds - conflict, threats, danger and deprivation - to study and work in a hospital. What kept her there, she told me, was that "the needs were so great, and doctors were in such short supply".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But, in March, finally, so scared that <span class="companylink">Islamic State</span> would target her, she succumbed. She made the heart-rending decision to abandon her vocation and fled through 46 checkpoints guarded by all parties to this conflict - each one a frightening ordeal - to get to the Turkish border. If the fighters - on either side - found out she was a doctor, they likely wouldn't let her leave, so she sewed her papers into the lining of her jacket to conceal them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During parts of her trip, this talented young medic, just one year away from qualifying to be a gynaecologist, crawled through mud to avoid being caught. "I never felt safe - not for a single minute," she whispered. "I still don't."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"From death to death to death" is how she described the ordeal of those who finally reached the shores of Lesbos. "All we want is a new chance at life."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one's listening to her mother, Sadaa, either. All she wants is to see her sons, who are in Germany. "I got as far as Macedonia," she said, "but then I came back to get my daughter, and then the borders closed. Now, I'm here with her, my sons are in Germany and my husband is in Syria with his sick father. What do I do? Where do I go?"</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And no one's listening to Fatina, who, just one month ago lost her husband on a <b>boat</b> as they fled Turkey. Eighty refugees were forced at gunpoint onto a dinghy designed for 25. They were crammed in, literally, one on top of the other. Her husband, at the bottom of the pile at the front of the inflatable craft, drowned. The only thought that kept her going on the terrifying sea crossing was that they had escaped Syria and were on their way to start a new life with their four children: 18-month-old twins, a boy and a girl; and two daughters, four and six.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In front of her children, she puts on a brave face. "God gives you power," she said. But when her children aren't looking, tears tumble down her cheeks. "I just don't know what to do," she sobbed, cradling her head in her hands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Each story is harrowing. Exhaustion hangs, thickly, in the air. I wonder how much more these women can endure. Every story is different, but they are linked by the threads of helplessness, hopelessness and despair. These are women at their breaking point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's only one thing worse than enduring brutal conflict, escaping your homeland, leaving behind everything you know, abandoning your dreams, risking your life, becoming destitute, being abused, fragmenting your family, watching your children suffer and losing loved ones, and it is this: arriving at a place you think is a haven only to be told you will likely be sent back. No one is sure when. No one is sure where. That is the definition of futility - and it's cruel. Because no one chooses to be a <b>refugee</b>. Refugees are refugees because the alternative used to be death. Now, there's a worse option: a living death. That is what I saw on Lesbos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once you hear their stories, you can't un-hear them. So, maybe it's not that the world can't hear. Maybe it's that it won't hear. Maybe it's not an epidemic of deafness, but of selective hearing - we hear only what we want to hear and shield ourselves from what we don't want to confront.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Because if the world listened to the stories - in Greece, Lebanon, Jordan (the kingdom estimates there are 1.3 million Syrians now living there) and beyond - more people would feel compelled to act. And small acts of kindness would give way to bigger and bolder ones - which would give way to humane policies to help refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But, first, we all must listen. To the sighs and the screams and the stifled sobs. To the exhausted exhalations and the broken voices. To the prayers and the wretched memories. To the whispered pleas: "All we want is a new chance at life."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They're telling us a story - a non-fiction story. Let's dignify them by listening, and by supporting them in practical and lasting ways.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">COMMENT</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The treatment in recent years by Coalition and Labor governments of people seeking <b>asylum</b> has, The Age has consistently argued, been shameful. It is a blot on a nation that prides itself on fairness, decency and opportunity, a nation that has long been enriched economically and socially by immigration, by cultural diversity.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have also argued our governments' policies are not only morally dubious by being harsh to the point of inhumane, they also contravene international law. Australia is a signatory to the United Nations Convention Relating to the Status of Refugees, which enshrines the legal right of people fleeing persecution to seek <b>asylum</b>, yet successive Australian governments have claimed <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving on our shores by <b>boat</b> do so illegally. Our politicians push this falsehood despite the fact that as many as 90 per cent of such people are found to be genuine refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We recognise the issue is difficult and complex; were there an easy solution to the issues created by the biggest number of displaced people - 60 million - since the Second World War, it would have been implemented long ago. Preventing people from perishing at sea is a fine aim, but the human and economic cost of our governments' policies of mandatory offshore detention is unjustifiable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So many words have been written by so many people pointing out the policies' failings. Yet words seem to fail, and that is where a documentary that has just been released has the potential to change the debate in our nation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Academy Award-winning Australian filmmaker Eva Orner's Chasing <b>Asylum</b>, which will be screened throughout the nation in coming weeks after a local premiere last week in Melbourne at the Human Rights Arts & Film Festival, achieves what words cannot. It shows, in footage that had to be courageously filmed in secret because the government has sought to suppress taxpayers' right to know what is occurring, the terrible conditions in which hundreds of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees are languishing and deteriorating in detention centres on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island and on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Orner's courage is matched by those she interviewed - volunteers and former staff of the centres. These people have decided to speak out, in potential defiance of the heavy-handed Australian Border Force Act 2015, which forbids, under threat of jail, anyone working in the centres from revealing to anyone anything they come across in their work.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The documentary comes after PNG's highest court ruled the Manus Island centre is illegal, creating an urgent need to resolve the fate of the 905 men incarcerated there. It comes after two detainees on Nauru set themselves alight in despair and protest; one has died and the other is in a critical condition. And it comes only days after Immigration Minister Peter Dutton wrongly blamed these acts and the epidemic of self-harm on those who advocate a change in Australia's policy. The film reveals why people are in such despair.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Australia heads into an election campaign, the Coalition and the opposition are so far maintaining bilateral support for policies that cruelly punish vulnerable and desperate people. We urge citizens to see the documentary. We believe it will convince most of them our lawmakers must evolve their policies. They will only do so if sufficient voters insist the status quo is unsustainable and unacceptable.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Age believes the billions of taxpayers' dollars spent on detention centres should be used to help create a humane regional system for processing <b>asylum</b> seekers. The coincidence of the PNG court finding and the election create an opportunity to make a change.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite what PM Malcolm Turnbull would have us believe, it’s not “misty-eyed” to think our offshore detention program is morally and legally broken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite what Immigration Minister Peter Dutton says, it’s not “providing false hope” to advocate a more humane solution for the wretched souls languishing on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The status quo is stuffed. The Australian Government might not be willing to accept it but the whole world knows it’s true.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even the players profiting from this flawed system want out. The <span class="companylink">Papua New Guinea Government</span> has demanded the Manus Island facility be closed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In Spain, a company called Ferrovial, which now has a 59 per cent stake in Broadspectrum (formerly Transfield), has declared that the Manus Island and Nauru regional processing centres “will not form part of its services offering in the future”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Why? Well, maybe they’ve come to realise that institutionalised cruelty is indefensible as a border-protection strategy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Or maybe they’ve decided they want no part of knowingly prolonging the suffering of 2000 people for political advantage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>Refugee</b> Agency</span>, whose members have visited Nauru seven times since 2012 and were there when a young <b>refugee</b> called Omid set himself on fire last week, has called for the immediate removal of refugees and <b>asylum</b>-seekers to “humane conditions”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The situation of these people has deteriorated progressively over time,” the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> said. “The consensus among medical experts is that conditions of detention and offshore processing do immense damage to physical and mental health.” We’ve known that for years, haven’t we? And still we’ve let it happen. With thousands of <b>asylum</b>-seekers shunted out of sight and conveniently out of mind, we’ve consoled ourselves that locking innocent people up indefinitely for years is better than letting them die at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Compassion and pragmatism need not be mutually exclusive, and doing what’s right needn’t trigger a flotilla of boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We’d devastate the business plan of people-smugglers if we announced a swift, hefty increase in our <b>refugee</b> intake from Indonesia. Around 13,000 refugees are registered with the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> in Indonesia. In the year to February, we resettled a pathetic 423.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We could also temporarily beef up our Australian Navy presence to the north and in the Indian Ocean, a strategy which has already proven effective in turning back or towing boats to countries of origin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And we could accept the help of countries such as New Zealand, which has offered to take 150 genuine refugees but been rebuffed, no doubt because the option just isn’t cruel enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So here we are with 2000 people trapped in purgatory and Labor and the Coalition on a unity ticket over <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy – and wasting billions to try to make this unsavoury little situation go away.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What a pity that unity ticket isn’t real bipartisanship advocating empathy for human beings instead of loathing for people-smugglers and fear of “illegal” refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What a pity our leaders have propagated hysteria over <b>boat</b> arrivals, instead of leading us towards a culture of compassion where the odd <b>boat</b> arrivals are accepted and dealt with humanely within our moral obligations as global citizens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s not “misty-eyed” to want to bring these people to safety.It’s having a very clear picture of the kind of country you want Australia to be.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the height of Australia’s <b>boat</b> arrivals, it was a common route for boats to travel from ­Colombo to Cocos Islands, a 2800km journey that is two days’ shorter than reaching the next Australian island protectorate of Christmas Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mahishini Colonne, a spokeswoman for the Sri Lankan Min­istry of Foreign Affairs, said yester­day that Sri Lankan authorities were trying to determine where the <b>asylum</b>-seekers had come from. “We are trying to determine if they are actual Sri Lankan ­nationals or if they are people of Sri Lankan origin who have got on this <b>boat</b> from elsewhere,” she said. “As you know, there are people of Sri Lankan origin from India and other locations who have in the past travelled this way and have been returned.” A Sri Lankan analyst in ­Colombo suggested some of the returned ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers might be tortured. Executive director of the ­National Peace Council of Sri Lanka Jahan Perera said all of the <b>asylum</b>-seekers would be questioned about how they got out of the country and it would be an ­intimidating experience for them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Because we still have not eradicated third-degree methods — torture — from the culture of our security forces, and even from the country at large, several of them are likely to experience that type of questioning: third degree-type of questioning, with an ­element of torture, maybe,” Mr Perera said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The military and the police would want to find out how they had got out of the country and which criminal gangs helped them. “They will not come back to a happy situation; they will be questioned; some of them will be subject to third-degree methods and all of them will be humiliated,’’ Mr Perera said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Also, they will have made a huge economic loss because they will have spent a huge amount of money to get out of this place and that will also have repercussions on their families.” There would almost certainly be Tamils among the <b>asylum</b>-seekers, and some would probably have links to <span class="companylink">the LTTE</span>, the milit­ant group that fought for a separate Tamil state for decades.EDITORIAL P25</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pope Francis announced his appointment but Bishop Long's background and Parramatta status as already one of the largest Catholic dioceses in Australia and a favourite destination for migrants, suggests the Australian Catholic Bishops Conference wish to put the issue of <b>boat</b> people front and centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"My appointment is not just about me or an individual honour, but it's an affirmation and recognition on the part of the universal church of the gifts and contributions that migrants and refugees can make to the church and also to society," Bishop Long said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It has a strong and and relevant message to the nation at this point in time as we tend to be a bit less welcoming to people who arrive by <b>boat</b>."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Born in 1961, Bishop Long entered a Catholic seminary near Saigon three years before the South Vietnamese capital fell to the North Vietnamese.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In 1975, the new rulers started closing religious training colleges and Bishop Long followed two older brothers and fled overseas.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Growing up in Australia, the children of refugees have always had it harder than the rest of us, forced to learn a second language, adopt a foreign culture and tiptoe along a tightrope that divides the old country from the new. Traditional values imposed by the family inevitably clash with those enjoyed in the school playground, creating great stories of drama, pathos or humour. Fortunately, with the publication of Whole Wild World, award-winning journalist Tom Dusevic has achieved all three.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the 1950s in Croatia, Dusevic’s father, Joso, was imprisoned for 3½ years for distributing anti-communist propaganda. Mean-while, to support herself, his mother, Milenka, became an olive oil smuggler, carrying 20-litre urns on her head in the dead of night from village to village. After his release from prison, Joso fled to Australia as an assisted migrant, while Milenka saved enough money to buy a share in a fishing <b>boat</b> with 15 other Croatians, planning to escape to Italy. The engine failed and the crew abandoned the <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Eventually they were discovered by Italian authorities and Milenka spent two years in four <b>refugee</b> camps. She managed to make contact with a Croatian Catholic priest in Sydney who sponsored her passage to Australia as a new settler. “In March 1958,” writes Dusevic, “the record shows Milenka, a stateless, single, domestic servant, thirty-two, (nudged down, she’d soon be thirty-four) boarded the Aurelia in Genoa for a five-week passage to Sydney.” Little did Milenka know that on the very same ship travelled an older woman who would one day become her mother-in-law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a beautifully compressed chapter, Dusevic narrates the separate journeys of his mother and father to Sydney, and the ways they initially strove to settle and make a living: Joso as a cane cutter; Milenka a housekeeper for rich families in the eastern suburbs of Sydney. When the two finally meet in Newtown and fall in love, the story assumes an even deeper poignancy: Milenka is at the tail-end of her child-bearing years and it’s almost a miracle that after her marriage to Joso she manages to bear a son, Sam, and, just shy of her 40th birthday, gives birth to her second, Tom. By then they are living in southwestern Sydney, a mecca for Lebanese, Italian and other Croatian immigrants.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“During my second year at school,” writes Dusevic, “I switched to thinking in English.” It’s a simple statement that underscores much of the material in this compelling and delightful memoir. The usual confusions of childhood and adolescence — playground arguments, sudden crushes, exam anxieties, puberty — are complicated by disparities between the expectations of his family and those of his peers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Joso, who worked night shifts at the <span class="companylink">Kellogg’s</span> cereal factory for more than 21 years, can express himself to his children only through subtle insults — all in an attempt to toughen them up in this easy, laidback country. When young Dusevic announces to some adults that he wants to be a journalist or a lawyer when he grows up, his father responds, “More like liar. Lawyer, liar, he’s already a very good liar.” The uncles of his extended family all have missing fingers and toes due to uncompensated workplace accidents. His aunt is a fabulous meddler and hypochondriac who makes a career out of disrupting family weddings and celebrations by faking migraines and other ailments. Perhaps the most amusing Australian character is Dusevic’s first high school principal, Mr Castagnet, “a rotund bowling ball of a man in a crumpled suit”. The principal’s primary text is the racing guide, and he teaches the kids the subject of probability by making them watch boxing championships on television. Whenever the principal ducks down to the TAB, Dusevic is left in charge of the class.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Growing up, Dusevic is also exposed to the Australian diseases of racism and ignorance. Following the Hilton hotel bombing, for example, he and his mates are labelled terrorists at school. His parents respond by taking him regularly to political demonstrations demanding the liberation of their homeland. While the boy narrator sympathises with the issue, he can’t help but notice the other bored kids of Croatian parents who’ve been forced to attend the rallies, wearing national folkloric costumes — much more embarrassing than his own orange shirt and purple flares. At home, his parents reiterate his otherness and try to convince him he’ll never fit into the Australian way of life, nor should he try:</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our parents had a troubled relationship with Australians. These “kangaroos” were drunks and no-hopers, people who had to rent because they didn’t have the discipline to save, bludgers lacking the will to work. Or they were snobs: Queen-loving, wog-hating Poms … or the foremen at work who knew less about the job but told you what to do.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Joso’s dire predictions and sly put-downs, however, have a miraculous effect on his modest son. Instead of becoming overwhelmed by his perceived lack of prospects, Dusevic distinguishes himself on the sports field and in the classroom, eventually winning a place on TV quiz show It’s Academic and claiming the state championship.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whole Wild World is a coming-of-age story of the 1960s and 70s with a wry twist of multiculturalism thrown into the mix. Often marooned between two wild worlds, Dusevic makes hilarious observations about the contradictions of both cultures, and within them it is not hard to see the accomplished journalist and author he would one day become.Mandy Sayer’s most recent book is The Poet’s Wife: A Memoir.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">THINK we’ve stopped boats crammed with refugees arriving at our shores? Well, think again.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the Greens and groups like the <b>Refugee</b> Action Coalition (RAC) have their way the people smuggling trade will soon recommence.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Many more lives will inevitably be lost at sea. Are we already forgetting our recent past?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is a generous country. For generations we have welcomed refugees and helped them become established. But we need to control our immigration program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our current annual intake of 14,000 refugees (plus another 12,000 from Syria) is enough. Australia cannot solve the world’s problems.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recently on 3AW I interviewed both Greens leader Richard Di Natale and RAC spokesman Ian Rintoul on the subject of immigration. Di Natale advocates upping our annual <b>refugee</b> intake to 50,000. For him the presence of hungry and oppressed people anywhere on Earth is an issue Australia must tackle. And Rintoul wants Australia to accept all the inmates currently held in offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both the Greens and RAC need to recognise a few harsh truths about <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, the sad reality is there will always be more displaced people than peaceful countries like Australia are willing to take. As a result, no matter how many we accept, there will always be tens of millions more queuing for entry into the promised land. Accepting 50,000 refugees annually instead of 26,000 won’t alter this unpalatable fact.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, the Greens are supposed to be concerned about the environment. Every time we up our immigration intake, we transfer people from a low-emissions lifestyle to a much higher-emitting one here. An increase in Australia’s population means lots more pollution. How can this be a good thing for our flora, fauna, waterways and air quality?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, both the Greens and RAC want to remove all 1500 refugees from Nauru and Manus Island. I get this; the detention centres there are not pleasant places to live.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But if we allow these <b>asylum</b> seekers entry into Australia, the people smuggling trade will quickly recommence. And the obvious result of this? Boats, boats and more boats, all of them crammed with desperate refugees, some of whom will definitely drown.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government of Papua New Guinea has been told by its constitutional court to close the Manus Island detention centre. As a result, the inmates have been offered the chance to settle in PNG. Genuine refugees fleeing religious or political persecution in the Middle East should jump at this chance. PNG might not be the greatest nation on Earth. But at least it’s not presently engaged in a bloody civil war like the one killing thousands in Syria. Nor does it tell people which version of God they should follow. The sad reality is that <b>asylum</b> seekers cannot be country shoppers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Finally, consider this: every <b>refugee</b> who arrives here by <b>boat</b> displaces another person in a camp waiting their turn at a better life.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unless we open our borders to unlimited numbers of people — which will never happen — those who jump the queue are seeking an unfair advantage. It is not morally defensible to preference illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals over those who’ve followed the correct immigration protocols.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another big issue is the process by which migrants are selected. Australia’s policy is to screen out anyone who fails a security assessment. This makes sense. We have enough of a problem dealing with homegrown terrorists; we don’t want to admit any more posing as <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having separated out potential threats, the remaining refugees are then assessed on their ability to fit in with modern Australia. Higher education and proficiency with English are big pluses. Family groups are preferred over single adults. And those with extreme religious ideals are generally excluded.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Rintoul, this no-nonsense selection process represents a form of illegal discrimination. In his mind we should accept anyone who sticks up their hand and claims persecution. Thus a displaced Sunni Muslim who hates all Shias might become an acceptable immigrant for Australia. Eventually the sectarian hatreds of the Middle East will spread across our borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We have two choices. We can follow the path advocated by the Greens and RAC and dramatically increase our <b>refugee</b> intake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alternatively, we can restrict immigration to current levels all the while helping recently arrived people to assimilate. This is the correct choice.It isn’t surprising so many <b>asylum</b> seekers want to live here. Australia is a relative oasis of peace and prosperity in an often angry and uncivilised world. Contrary to the beliefs of the Greens and RAC, Australia already contributes its fair share for refugees. We should continue doing what we can to assist — but no more.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A ustralia's policy on <b>asylum</b> seekers arriving in boats is broken. It hasn't yet collapsed in a ditch but attempts to patch it enough to roll past the coming federal election will be awkward at best and risky at worst. Both the government and the Labor opposition support a policy of processing in second countries those <b>asylum</b> seekers who enter Australian jurisdiction on unauthorised boats. The reopening of the Manus Regional Processing Centre in November 2012 recommenced this policy introduced by the Howard government in 2001. It was then toughened during the brief second prime ministership of Kevin Rudd . He reached an agreement with Papua New Guinea covering <b>asylum</b> in that country to refugees but with the overtly stated intention that <b>asylum</b> seekers processed on Manus Island were never to be settled in Australia. This, together with the reopening in August 2012 of a similar centre on Nauru, saw a dramatic slowing of the number of <b>asylum</b> seekers attempting to reach Australia by <b>boat</b>. On April 26, that policy was kicked over by the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea ruling that the detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island was constitutionally invalid, hence illegal and that the centre should be closed expeditiously.Minister for Immigration Peter</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton has acted as though nothing significant had changed. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said he was unable to provide "a definitive road map" for the direction of the policy following the court's ruling. Both stressed that none of those interned on Manus would come to Australia because that would give people smugglers an incentive to recommence their trade. Yet it may already be too late to stop people smugglers testing the limits of Australia's exclusionary assessment policy. The ruling against the Manus Island facility signals a sudden limiting of Australia's capacity to have <b>asylum</b> seekers processed offshore. Australian and PNG officials are holding talks on the issue this week with what appears to be an Australian assumption that the ruling of the PNG Supreme Court can be circumvented by simply throwing open the gates of the Manus Island facility. This would profoundly challenge PNG's ability to manage its immigration system but doesn't appear to be among the pressing concerns of the PNG government. In March PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill expressed his discomfort with the Manus Island facility and his desire to see it closed. He was quick to affirm that his government would obey the court and close the facility. His public concerns following the judgment lay with seeking compensation for loss of income by local traders after the centre is</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">closed and funding from Australia to cover the costs of settling those <b>asylum</b> seekers who choose to take up residence in PNG. It is true that negotiations between PNG and Australia are notorious for PNG's setting of political barriers to extract higher offers and Australia's countervailing arm-twisting as the contributor of the single largest component of PNG revenues. A surprise outcome might emerge from this week's discussions that would see the Manus Island facility remaining in some capacity. Nevertheless, the PNG government has little room for manoeuvre, with the definitive nature of the court's 5-0 judgment leaving it vulnerable to injunction for any response not complying with the ruling. Australia has failed conspicuously to achieve settlement of refugees in third countries and, in the longer term, seems unlikely to avoid having to accept responsibility for those not wishing to stay in PNG. Whatever the outcome of the situation on Manus Island, the threat that future <b>asylum</b> seekers will be interned permanently in PNG no longer looks convincing. Transferring the 850 people in the Manus facility to the centre on Nauru would exhaust its capacity. With no other site in prospect for second-country processing, people smugglers will find it easier to persuade prospective clients that they will stay in Australia while their claims are processed. So it will be surprising if <b>asylum</b> seeker boats do not reappear in Australian waters within the next few months. And they might be all the more likely to do so because of the forthcoming federal election. With the prime minister expected to call a double dissolution election before next week, the government will enter caretaker</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">mode. Major new policies, such as negotiating new offshore locations for assessment centres will be put on hold. New options to repair the damage suffered by the policy will have to await the outcome of the July 2 poll. Consequently, people smugglers will have a few months of opportunity in which to resurrect their trade. Any upsurge in <b>boat</b> arrivals will have to be handled by Border Force and the Australian Defence Force through an attenuated chain of command. Caretaker conventions indicate that any unusual action should require consultation with the opposition. Unilateral ministerial actions may well become a campaign issue, perhaps placing Commonwealth officials in an invidious position. PNG will respond to its imperatives regardless of Australia's election schedules. There could be plenty of scope for confusion, miscalculation or tragedy. No matter the inconvenience, the ruling of the PNG Supreme Court has fundamentally changed Australian policy on <b>asylum</b> seekers. The coincidence of Australia's election agenda has clouded recognition that this is the fact and will postpone meaningful and considered efforts to recast the policy. In the meantime, those with responsibility for enacting that policy will have to exercise considerable care and judgment during the coming months.

It was the second self-immolation at Nauru in the past week. The first involved 23-year-old Iranian man Omid Masoumali. He died in a Brisbane hospital on Friday, after waiting more than 24 hours for medical evacuation to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton on Tuesday said the young woman was airlifted to Australia and remained "in a very serious, critical condition".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We can only hope for the best possible outcome ... It is of grave concern that this person would resort to such an extreme act of self-harm," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He expressed anger at advocates and others "who are encouraging some of these people to behave in a certain way, believing that that pressure exerted on the Australian government will see a change in our policy in relation to our border protection measures".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"These behaviours have intensified in recent times and as we see, they have turned to extreme acts with terrible consequences," Mr Dutton said. "Advocates who proclaim to represent and support the interests of refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers must frankly hear a clear message ... their activities and these behaviours must end."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Nauru government said <b>refugee</b> advocates, Australian politicians and human rights lawyers should "work with us in sending the message to refugees on Nauru that such drastic actions will not work, and to refrain from such protests".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"<b>Refugee</b> advocates must stop giving refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Nauru false hope and stirring up these protests," it said in a statement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is understood Hadon, believed to be aged between 19 and 22, received treatment at the Republic of Nauru Hospital on Monday night and arrived at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital burns unit on Tuesday morning.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> route to the islands opened up in earnest in 2012.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">News of the <b>boat</b>'s arrival came as Immigration Minister Peter Dutton announced 19 detention centre closures: "We don't want to see new <b>boat</b> arrivals, and we are determined that we are not going to see men, women and children drowning at sea ever again".

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Tuesday afternoon the ABC's Hack program broke the news that a small <b>boat</b> was intercepted close to the Australian territory in rough weather, carrying up to 12 <b>asylum</b> seekers who one local identified as being Sri Lankans.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The fishing <b>boat</b> was spotted by a Cocos Island ferry and intercepted by authorities on Monday.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is the first suspected <b>asylum</b> vessel to sail within sight of Australia since at least November.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Awie Rasa, a ferry passenger that day, said he was sure the blue and yellow <b>boat</b> was an <b>asylum</b> vessel like the many he had seen during 17 years as a ferry captain on the Indian Ocean outpost.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Huzaifah (a deckhand) said ‘Look, there’s an <b>asylum</b>-seekers’ <b>boat</b>’ and I was like ‘Yeah, that’s right’. And I pointed out to a few of the passengers: ‘Look, <b>asylum</b>-seekers; they started again’,” he told The Australian.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Rasa said the <b>boat</b> passed the ferry within “a couple of hundred metres” at about 27km/h. There was an outline of a man in the wheelhouse, and he presumed passengers were below deck.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>boat</b> was intercepted by a white police <b>boat</b> and taken to ­officers waiting at a jetty on the Cocos’ West Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They took off fast in their <b>boat</b>,” Mr Rasa said. “I don’t know what happened after that because everything is so secret.” Mr Dutton, whose office dec­lined to comment on “on-water matters”, vented his “anger and frustration” at <b>refugee</b> activists after a second <b>refugee</b> — a 21-year-old Somali woman, Hadon — was evacuated to Brisbane with self-inflicted life-threatening burns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The protest came only three days after a 23-year-old Iranian man, Omid, was pronounced dead in Brisbane after setting himself alight in protest on the ­island last week. Omid’s death is being investigated by the Queensland Coroner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We do of course hope for the best possible outcome (for the woman), but it is a dire situation,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The minister accused <b>refugee</b> activists of privately and publicly encouraging <b>asylum</b>-seekers to revolt on the island, peddling “false hope” that it would pressure the government to change its hardline policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The behaviours have intensified in recent times and, as we see, they have now turned to extreme acts with terrible consequences,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It is of grave concern that this person would resort to such an extreme act of self-harm.” Mr Dutton said the government had intelligence that Australians working on Nauru were involved in encouraging dissent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>Refugee</b> Action Coalition, a prominent advocacy group with close ties to <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru, accused the government of “playing a dangerous game with the lives of <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees” on the island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Peter Dutton does not have a shred of evidence that advocates encourage refugees to self-harm,” spokesman Ian Rintoul said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is the same line Scott Morrison tried about the <span class="companylink">Save the Children</span> workers (who were expelled from Nauru) in 2014 and that was shown to be completely false.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“But Dutton has learned nothing. His dismissive attitude to the distress of the <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on Nauru will only put more people at risk.” A former director of offshore processing under the Gillard and the second Rudd governments, Greg Lake, said that he had long been concerned by the nat­ure of the exchanges between <b>asylum</b>-seekers and advocates who treated incidents of self- harm as an opportunity to make a political point.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Lake, who quit his role after a personal struggle with the concept of offshore processing, has previously been blasted by <b>refugee</b> advocates for claiming that some “coached” <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said he did not object to advocates giving <b>asylum</b>-seekers hope. “It never surprises me when certain advocates come out very quickly after an incident with extraordinary detail,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Clearly, they are intimately involved and engaged with the <b>asylum</b>-seekers.” Nirmal Dewasiri, a specialist in social transformation at Colombo University, said the factors that would lead Sri Lankans to get on a <b>boat</b> for a treacherous journey to Australia were more often economic than political.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australia had a heavy advertising campaign in Sri Lanka to discourage illegal migration,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When they come across frequent news that people are captured and then sent to a remote island — I think that is discouragement.”However, he added: “There is always an enterprising group of people who are willing to take a risk.”</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have never written before about Australia's "Pacific Solution". Most people I know deplore it, on moral grounds. Innumerable commentators - most notably in these pages, the redoubtable Waleed Aly - have exposed the myths and secrets and lies we allow to shield us from the brutal reality of Nauru and Manus Island; what Aly calls "factories of mental illness".</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When you've got the likes of Aly on the case, you don't need Jonathan Holmes. And besides, I have a problem. Though I agree with almost everything he and other <b>refugee</b> advocates have to say about the practical evils and the moral bankruptcy of "offshore processing", I don't believe one should pontificate about a policy unless one has some vaguely practical alternative to propose.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I have never had one.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps that's not surprising. After all, a succession of Australian governments, backed by the policy brainpower of one of the world's finest public services, has been gnawing fruitlessly on this bone for nigh on 25 years. The Pacific Solution was John Howard's desperate resort in the wake of the Tampa incident. Kevin Rudd shared the moral abhorrence of those who opposed it, but reality defeated him. The boats started landing again. A trickle soon turned into a flood. The East Timor solution, the Malaysian solution, came and went. It was the Pacific Solution that stopped the boats the second time, as it had the first.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But why did we need to stop the boats?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I don't believe for a second that the politicians' primary motive is to save lives at sea. As Aly and many others have pointed out, that's a Johnny-come-lately justification - it arrived long after John Howard had left the political stage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the so-called "Tampa" election in 2001, I was the executive producer of the ABC's 7.30 Report. Every time we aired an item that was in any way sympathetic to <b>boat</b> people, we would get a flood of reaction from viewers: outraged, furious, bitter. It gave me some inkling of the tide that was washing into MPs' electoral offices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And nowhere more than in western Sydney and western Melbourne, the heartlands of Australia's post-war immigrant population, where to have parents who were native English speakers made you the exception, not the rule.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">These were people who had stood in the "queue" that others called fictional, who had waited years for the family reunion scheme to bring wives, kids and parents to Australia; who had relatives and friends hoping desperately to join them; who knew that every <b>boat</b> person allowed to stay was one fewer of their own people who'd be admitted through the offshore humanitarian visa intake.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are also the parts of Australia where most people know someone who arrived by <b>boat</b>. They know about the networks of agents set up by people smugglers, have seen the phone calls to families in Malaysia and Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In three Four Corners programs that made far less impact than they deserved, Sarah Ferguson revealed beyond doubt that the criminal people-smuggler networks are not just a fantasy dreamt up by immigration ministers. They exist. And a lot of Australians know it. They don't see why people who can pay criminals should be able to buy a chance at a life they themselves had to get by legal means.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I still see the opposition to <b>boat</b> people dismissed by <b>refugee</b> advocates as "racist". That's a fundamental misunderstanding. Australia is rightly proud of its immigration program. It has created one of the most diverse and successful multi-ethnic nations in the world. The reason the <b>boat</b> people had to be stopped was that - justifiably or otherwise - they were undermining Australians' belief in a fair and orderly immigration program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But, say many of the current policy's opponents, there are other solutions. In a four-year-old blog on the ABC's Religion and Ethics site, Aly argues that it's just a matter of taking more refugees from Indonesia. If people could get here legitimately, they wouldn't risk the boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This ignores the fact that the people in Indonesia and Malaysia who want to come to Australia are not Indonesians or Malaysians. Overwhelmingly, they are Hazaras from Afghanistan, and Iranians; if the way to Australia were open, they would now be Syrians too. They've already travelled a long way - helped by people smugglers - to get to Indonesia, and there are hundreds of thousands, possibly millions, more where they came from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Taking a large proportion of would-be Australian migrants from Indonesia would only induce more to follow; very soon there would be far more than any orderly migration program could accommodate. The Indonesians and Malaysians would not thank us for that. That's why we source so much of our <b>refugee</b> intake from camps close to where they've fled from: Somalis and Sudanese from Kenya, Afghans from Pakistan, and so on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Europe is discovering, there is an almost limitless demand, through the Middle East, and central Asia, and Africa, for a better, safer life. Whether these people are "genuine refugees" or "economic migrants" may matter to the lawyers, but is immaterial in policy terms.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The brutal fact is that we cannot take them all. We cannot, without risking social disruption, take more than a tiny fraction of them. And as John Howard said, it should be our government that decides who comes to this country, not a free-for-all scramble for a place on a leaky <b>boat</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the poor souls who are its victims, the "Pacific Solution" has provided a living hell. I doubt their agony can be justified philosophically. I don't believe we should be sheltered from it by censorship. I hope, somehow, that it can soon be ended.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But I don't know what the alternative policy should have been in the past, or could be in the future.</p>

</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">News of the <b>boat</b>'s arrival came as Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the government would close 17 immigration detention centres, saying: "We don't want to see new <b>boat</b> arrivals, and we absolutely are determined that we are not going to see men, women and children drowning at sea ever again in this country."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Tuesday afternoon, the ABC's Hack program broke the news a small <b>boat</b> was intercepted close to the Australian territory in rough weather, carrying an estimated 12 <b>asylum</b> seekers who one local identified as being Sri Lankans.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The program said the <b>boat</b> approached the Indian Ocean archipelago, about halfway between Australia and Sri Lanka, on Monday morning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Local man Awie Rasa said he saw the vessel approaching the main lagoon between Home Island and West Island about 10.45am, local time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's moving pretty fast, moving 12-15 knots," he told the ABC.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"It's heading towards Home Island ... the customs [officers] on the jetty are running up and down and getting their tenders into the water. I heard it didn't reach Home Island, just [anchored] about 500 metres away."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He believed the <b>boat</b> was a Sri Lankan vessel carrying about 12 men.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another man told the ABC that <span class="companylink">Australian Federal Police</span> officers intercepted the <b>boat</b> and escorted it to a mooring, from where members of the Australian Border Force took them to a vessel.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"We've had significant presences between Navy and Customs guys for many months," the man said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They come, they go, they disappear for a few days and come back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As far as vessels reaching the lagoon and getting inside the lagoon - that's certainly the closest one that's got in for some time."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another man, who did not want to be identified, told <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> that Australian officials spent about an hour speeding between the <b>boat</b> and the Ocean Protector customs ship, about lunchtime.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is not clear where the men were taken.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokesman for the Department of Immigration and Border Protection referred questions about the <b>boat</b> to Mr Dutton's office.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A spokeswoman for the minister said she would "not comment on operational matters".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b> route to the Cocos Islands opened up in earnest in 2012, when Sri Lanka's senior envoy in Canberra confirmed his government had stopped a <b>boat</b> carrying more than 110 people bound for Australia via the Indian Ocean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Before this, people-smuggling syndicates had not historically targeted Cocos Islands, preferring to send boats to Australian territory closer to Indonesia - either Christmas Island, south of Java, or Ashmore Reef off West Timor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The distance between Ashmore Reef and the Cocos Islands is more than 4000 kilometres, a massive expanse to patrol.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">News of the <b>boat</b> came after Mr Dutton blamed <b>refugee</b> advocates for stoking unrest in the offshore processing centres at Nauru and Manus Island - two refugees set themselves alight in less than a week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One man, 23-year-old Omid Masoumali, died two days later, and mobile phone footage taken on Nauru had been released, showing him screaming as flames engulfed his torso.</p>

That's particularly true given the political realities of working on a continent over which eight different territorial claims currently operate, some with overlapping borders that defy easy diplomatic solution. What better message could Australia send than one that says stop, collaborate and listen?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Icebreaker Morant: Australia loves its larrikins, and few are more famous than Harry "The Breaker" Morant – the former drover turned military captain who served in the Boer War. The legend of The Breaker has only grown in the years since, with history rewriting him as an Aussie patriot made a scapegoat by the hated British rather than, more accurately, a mercenary who confessed to murdering a bunch of people and was executed for war crimes. But Australia is much better with self-aggrandising myths than our actual which makes him a perfect symbol for our nautical operations.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Associate Professor Boaty McBoatface: See, the <span class="companylink">British government</span> rejected the name on the grounds that it was just plain silly, not to say a little disrespectful to the people that would be serving on the vessel – so clearly the answer is to give the <b>boat</b> a title that demonstrates capability and achievement.

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They can go home, they can go back to Iran, they can go back to their country of origin, which some of them have, they can settle in PNG … and we’ve obviously sought to find them settlement in third countries. But if we want to keep our borders secure, if we want to ensure that people smugglers do not go back into business, then we have to be absolutely resolute on this: if you come to Australia with a people smuggler, or try to come to Australia with a people smuggler, you will not settle in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We can’t afford to let the empathy that we feel for the desperate circumstances many people find themselves in to cloud our judgment. Our national security has to come first.” Border protection represents a significant weak point for Labor despite its espousal of policies that closely mirror the Coalition’s.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It may talk the talk, but scratch the surface and you’ll see deep divisions in Labor ranks. Many MPs prefer a return to the policies adopted under Rudd. Labor’s Left faction is openly hostile to the party’s own <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus Island decision has seen four MPs — Jill Hall, Melissa Parke, Lisa Singh and Sue Lines — break ranks and question the policy adopted at the party’s 2015 conference after a heated debate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s worth noting that Anthony Albanese voted against <b>boat</b> turnbacks at that conference, and deputy leader Tanya Plibersek and Senate leader Penny Wong did not appear for the crucial vote.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s tough talk on border protection won’t inspire much confidence from a cynical electorate who remember all too well the party’s reckless dismantling of John Howard’s Pacific Solution, plunging the nation into a costly crisis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was a point Turnbull drove home strongly: “The Labor Party wasted billions of dollars by abandoning border protection policies that worked. We are not talking about theoretical issues here, or hypothetical issues. Labor has form. Kevin Rudd said he’d be strong on border protection, and he said he’d turn back boats; he got into office, and dismantled Howard’s policies. It’s important to remember that those men are there (Manus Island) because of the failure of the Labor Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“You’d have to back hope over experience if you think a Labor government would be safe on borders. You cannot trust them.” This is what Coalition voters have been yearning to hear from a PM who appears to have found his mojo after a testing period where his satisfaction ratings plummeted from 53 to 36 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His reluctance to talk border protection may have had something to do with the policy being closely aligned to the Abbott era. But the Manus Island crisis has allowed him to trumpet his government’s success and condemn Labor’s failures.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It’s unlikely the Government will resolve the Manus Island issue before the election: the <b>asylum</b>-seekers do not want to be resettled in PNG and moving them to Nauru or Christmas Island will serve as only a temporary solution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the meantime, the Coalition would do well to talk more of border protection and less of “incentivising innovation” or investing huge sums in submarines.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Is Malcolm Turnbull the same?</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We’ll begin to find out on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull’s first federal budget, and the epic election campaign that will follow, will reveal whether the Prime Minister has been keeping his powder dry for the past seven months — or, as his critics fear, whether he has chased this job his entire adult life without any real idea of what he’d do with it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Today we reveal a Budget centrepiece — the government will demand schools get back to basics in literacy and numeracy if they want increases in federal funding. We also know the Budget will include a shift in tax brackets to prevent middle-income earners suffering an effective tax rise through bracket creep, some concessions on superannuation for working mothers, a federal bonds scheme to fund infrastructure projects and university fee deregulation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In other words, solid but not particularly new.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even if Mr Turnbull has nothing more exciting up his sleeve, he’s just been given an unexpected gift by the Papua New Guinea Supreme Court.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats are back, thanks to the Court’s decision that Australia’s Manus Island processing centre was unconstitutional and must close.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s a conventional assessment that this makes Mr Turnbull’s life harder. In fact, it allows him to spend the next two months hammering Labor’s multiple failed attempts to stop the boats, and his own resolve to ensure they don’t restart.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s great news for Mr Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem with Tony Abbott’s pledge to “stop the boats” at the 2013 election was that, in purely political terms, it succeeded too quickly and quietly.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Within a day of the election, most Australians heaved a sigh of relief and thought the issue was permanently off the public agenda. They wanted the problem of unauthorised <b>boat</b> arrivals to go away — not because they were racist or unsympathetic, as some might have you believe — but because they didn’t want to see any people drowning in desperate attempts to reach Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Scott Morrison as Immigration Minister effectively shut the issue down by instituting <b>boat</b> turnbacks and then refusing to talk about exactly what was happening. That might have been the most ruthlessly quick method, but it was both a failure of transparency and a tactical error by Mr Morrison and Mr Abbott. They neutralised one of the government’s strongest suits and then were forced to look around for other things to talk about: Medicare co-payments and the like. We all know how that worked out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The political reality is Liberal-National governments fare much better when Australians are talking about boats. It’s one policy area where the government has a proud record: stopping the dangerous people-smuggler tide.Now the challenge for the PM is to use all his acumen and skill to come up with a solution that rejects the naivety of the Greens and the stupidity of some <b>refugee</b> advocates. Boats may win or lose Mr Turnbull the election — but it is hoped he also has a real policy agenda outside of immigration to offer.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How pathetic that our politicians can only see a simple question of dollars and not the terrible cost to people. Immigration Minister Peter Dutton complains Australia has paid Papua New Guinea "a lot of money" to send 900 <b>asylum</b> seekers to Manus Island and as a consequence Port Moresby has the only obligation to the men. Labor's Richard Marles wants to offer extra cash to convince PNG to change its laws and keep the detention camp open. Both notions are equally contemptuous. It should surely be clear by now that Australia cannot buy its way out of a moral responsibility to refugees.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet the prospect of throwing even more money at an undoubtedly difficult challenge is presented as policy, such is the consensus of cruelty in Australian politics. Usually, governments and oppositions are at pains to highlight examples of wasteful spending. Not so with <b>asylum</b> seeker policy. The cost has already been enormous, including attempts to induce Solomon Islands, Philippines and Kyrgyzstan to join PNG, Cambodia and Nauru in the offshore "solution" to the arrival of <b>asylum</b> seekers by <b>boat</b>. In addition to the cost to the treasury, our diplomacy has been debauched and national reputation stained.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The ruling by the PNG Supreme Court that Manus Island is an illegal operation should be seen as an opportunity for Australia to adopt a different approach. The refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island who do not wish to settle in PNG should be brought to Australia. It is ludicrous to pretend there is no flexibility in Australia's present stance, especially given the government has been found out, acting in contravention of PNG law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the regrettable reality is both major political parties have mistaken stubbornness for decency. Like the Australian High Court ruling on the so-called "Malaysia solution", there is little hope of change. Each parrots a line that the boats must be stopped to save lives, pretending this concern absolves Australia of responsibility for the lives of those interned on island camps. The true cost is horrifying. Last week, a man trapped on Nauru with the connivance of Australia to serve as a "deterrent" to other would-be <b>asylum</b> seekers became so desperate about his plight, he set himself on fire. It took 24 hours to evacuate him to Australia for treatment, where he died.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite evidence of severe psychological and physical harm resulting from Australia's policy, the government has suggested it could shuttle the men from Manus to Nauru. If the government will not bring these men to Australia - as it should - there must be a more determined and urgent effort to find another country willing to offer them a home. Tiny Nauru, an island of a mere 21 square kilometres with a hollow core from phosphate mining, cannot bear the burden on Australia's behalf. Refugees should be allowed a fresh start, with all human freedoms, including the right to travel overseas should they wish, a right presently denied on Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The strained climate of an election has proved a wretched time for a national debate on <b>asylum</b> policy, but there is no time for delay. Australians must recognise the true cost of a bankrupt policy being enacted in their name. Men, women and children have been stripped of their humanity, branded "illegals" or "transferees" and treated appallingly. There will be a future reckoning for Australia's vicious indifference to the rights of vulnerable people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first step to redemption should be to close the camps. Political leaders should have the courage to confront the vilification of <b>asylum</b> seekers, or the nation will be poorer as a result.</p>

MALCOLM Turnbull is good at many things, but running a scare campaign is not one of them. He is not in Tony Abbott’s class. When he sets out to frighten the horses he lacks conviction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That is especially the case on climate change. Turnbull’s attack on Labor’s plan for a revived emissions trading scheme was not only short on credibility. It was stomach-turning in its hypocrisy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull as Environment Minister pushed an emission trading scheme through Cabinet in the dying days of John Howard’s Government. The importance of an ETS was his excuse for seizing the opposition leadership from Brendan Nelson in 2008. He put his own leadership on the line over the issue — and lost — in 2009.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet now he claims Bill Shorten’s similar plan will hamper growth. He condemns it as “effectively another tax”. And he says Labor should not act ahead of other major countries — the very approach for which he ripped into Nelson.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even on issues where he has less personal baggage, the Prime Minister doesn’t do scary well. It is not his thing. You only have to compare Turnbull’s awkward attempts to whip up alarm over <b>asylum</b> seekers this week with the much more effective efforts of Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to see what I mean.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull’s thing is to study evidence, weigh up arguments, take a reasoned approach. When he tries to do an Abbott he undermines his own strengths.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Turnbull is a politician, and sometimes they don’t have much choice. After a couple of months the Coalition would like to forget, Turnbull’s luck turned with the decision of PNG’s Supreme Court that compels the closure of the Manus Island detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was a gift for the Prime Minister, putting <b>asylum</b> seekers and boats and people smugglers at the centre of the political debate once more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“It’s an opportunity for a negative campaign that could almost get us home in the election on its own,” a Liberal backroom operator commented. Turnbull could hardly be expected to pass up the opportunity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten has done his best to neutralise the issue, forcing policy changes at the last national ALP conference so the party now even supports <b>boat</b> turnbacks.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this is a battleground that overwhelmingly favours the Coalition. It is deadly territory for Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only saving grace for the Opposition is that Turnbull is no Abbott, but even someone without the former PM’s bare-knuckle talents should still be able to do Labor a lot of damage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ditto with climate change. Shorten showed guts to embrace an ETS, despite the certainty that it would be misrepresented as a carbon tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The flip side of that statement is that he has taken a massive risk. Those planning the Coalition’s election campaign are suitably grateful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Throw in the scare campaign Turnbull and Treasurer Scott Morrison were already waging over Labor’s policy to restrict negative gearing, and suddenly next Tuesday night’s Federal Budget becomes less crucial.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was looking as though the Coalition’s election chances depended almost entirely on the Budget. The way one government source put it was that, if the Budget was badly received, “it will be goodnight nurse”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The document Morrison brings down will still form the basis of the Coalition’s campaign for the July 2 election. It will need to remedy the Government’s failure to provide a sense of where it is going and why. Above all, the Budget will need to focus on what both the Coalition and Labor know is the biggest issue of the election: where the next generation of jobs will come from.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is what worries voters the most. It is what they talk about in focus groups. Consequently it is what Shorten and Turnbull also talk about a great deal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will have to be up there in lights on Tuesday night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be few bells and whistles in the Budget. “It will be sensible, not sensational,” according to a member of Turnbull’s inner circle.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Given that Morrison has said consistently since his first day as Treasurer that Australia has a spending problem, not a revenue problem, he could not endorse election sweeteners without losing all credibility.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Treasurer has to produce a revenue-neutral Budget which includes significant spending cuts and that is not easy to do without alienating voters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So the Budget remains vital to the Coalition’s election prospects. The return of <b>asylum</b> seekers and carbon-pricing as issues, however, relieves some of the pressure on Morrison, even if it leaves Turnbull looking uncomfortable.Laurie Oakes is the Nine Network political editor</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all the personality politics, opinion polls, <span class="companylink">Twitter</span> outrages and media firestorms, the national political contest is often dictated by the ebb and flow of the structural issues.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott didn’t just bludgeon the Coalition’s way into government; during his two years the government set the course for this electoral contest.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As this column has argued for more than year, the election will be decided on the recurring policy issues of the past decade — budget repair, border protection and climate policy — and the Coalition has put itself on the right side of them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was a bit of a flutter on Wednesday when a new Essential opinion poll was released putting Labor ahead of the Coalition 52-48, moving more or less in line with the 51-49 recorded in the past two Newspolls. There was talk of a new crisis for Malcolm Turnbull as he slid behind in the polls just as he was hit by the new dilemma of Papua New Guinea shutting the Manus Island detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The opposite interpretation is likelier — if Turnbull plays his hand correctly. The latest polling should be the nadir for the Turnbull government if — and that is a big if — it can channel its messaging, budget and campaign on to its core strengths. Wednesday should be seen, with the benefit of hindsight, as the turning point: the swing day when a government struggling for a narrative had the obvious agenda thrust upon it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus Island dilemma (for all the human trauma it represents and how it emphasises the need to find permanent resettlement options for all <b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees) was a godsend for Turnbull. It enabled him to remind voters of the Coalition’s unequalled success in resolving this diabolical border protection problem — a monumental policy failing Labor created, then said could not be overcome.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even more important, by taking the right policy decision to rule out resettlement in Australia, Turnbull was able to demonstrate that he could show the necessary resolve on this issue, like Abbott and John Howard before him, and in stark contrast to Labor’s record.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Also on Wednesday, Labor released its climate change policy which, as it was bound to do, included a price on carbon. While Bill Shorten assures voters there “will be no carbon tax”, he knows he is on dangerous ground. There will be an emissions trading scheme, a price on carbon emissions and higher targets, and there must be increases in electricity ­prices. Again, this gift for Turnbull had him sounding for all the world like his predecessor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What Labor is proposing to do is another, effectively another tax,” he said, with the obvious political opportunity overcoming any pangs he might have had for the emissions trading approach he once staunchly favoured.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s ETS, price on carbon and wildly ambitious and costly emissions reduction and renewables targets are an act of political self-harm that have been a long time coming.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead of repudiating its previous position and moving into lock-step with the government Labor is committed to this course to keep the party’s Left flank on board and prevent major bleeding to the Greens.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So this week two of the Coalition’s core electoral strengths came into play, as they always were going to do, in the lead-up to the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition’s strengths on border protection and climate change policy, as well as the scare campaigns they underpin about the likely consequences of Labor, are what have always convinced me (even under Abbott) that its re-election is more likely than not. Even though the Liberal Party panicked and replaced Abbott, these same strengths should provide the trump cards for Turnbull.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Sure, voters don’t see him being as hardline as Abbott on either of these issues but, then again, because he has cachet on the environmental and humanitarian sides of these debates, it can make his advocacy for the right, rational policies all the more compelling.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull can talk all he likes about innovation and economic agility (it does no harm apart from surrendering opportunities to speak about something else) but what will win him votes is ensuring he is seen as stronger than Labor on borders, national security and protecting households from higher electricity prices.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s inherent weakness on these issues is plain to see. Its latest climate policy pleased virtually no one; it was pilloried by the green-Left as lacking in ambition and slammed by industry as jeopardising growth and jobs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For mainstream voters it might have seemed the climate issue was largely resolved post-Paris, so why would they vote for higher electricity prices delivered by a complicated and yet-to-be-finalised Labor plan?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On border protection the brittleness of Labor’s position was laid bare over Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While opposition immigration spokesman Richard Marles tried to criticise the government, he and Shorten also tried to pretend their border policy was identical to the government’s. They just flushed out the dissidents on their own side. To be fair, there also have been Coalition dissidents on this issue but the difference is that Howard and Abbott (and Turnbull in opposition) have emphatically overridden them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s record on borders is weak and ineffectual, and it has cobbled together a position that tries to emulate the Coalition’s (even though it rejects temporary protection visas and only begrudgingly allowed <b>boat</b> turnbacks). Labor never demonstrated the necessary resolve in government and the dissidents in its ranks now just underline public doubts that it can be trusted to see this difficult issue through.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Predictably, despite all the party­room conniptions and talk of a fresh start, it is boats and the carbon tax that work for Turnbull. If he can reinforce the Coalition’s record and authority on border protection and climate policy he is halfway to election victory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also must, of course, stake out superiority in another structural issue: economic management. The Prime Minister and his Treasurer, Scott Morrison, most reinforce this Coalition strength on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than being too timid because of a pre-election reluctance to generate offence, they must impose some fiscal discipline. Labor is promising a prescription of all gain with no pain — which many voters may see as implausible. So to demonstrate their certitude to manage a difficult budgetary situation, Turnbull and Morrison need to make some spending cuts and hear some complaints.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Whinges about their parsimony will reinforce their broader claim to be responsible managers, intent on fixing the budget.In a time of global and economic instability voters are likely to stick with a government they believe will deliver national security and border protection, without an unnecessary carbon tax and with a clear ability to make responsible decisions on budget repair.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dramatics aside, Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 1933 comment that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself can be applied in Australia today: to voters, the opposition and the government ahead of this year’s election.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">FDR uttered those words in his first inaugural speech, and of course they were heady days, with the US and indeed the world in the grip of the Depression. The international and domestic circumstances aren’t analogous today, obviously, but the need to not fear fear itself certainly is.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">During the week we saw the release of deflationary quarterly numbers, undoubtedly stoking fears of another global financial crisis. The state of the economy is something policymakers should be worried about, but more concerning still is the capacity of bad news to dampen business and consumer confidence, turning predictions into a self-fulfilling prophecy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fear is also a key ingredient in the strategic campaigns both major parties are embarking on, especially the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Malcolm Turnbull wants voters to fear a return to Labor, for what it will do to their house and electricity prices. The latter attack became more potent this week with Labor’s emissions trading scheme announcement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But fear itself is likely the only real concern on these fronts. It’s hard to find an economist anywhere in the country who doesn’t think something should be done to curb negative gearing. Whether Labor’s plan is the best way to do so is highly questionable, but there will be no nuance in this debate. The government has ruled out doing anything to adjust negative gearing rules precisely because it wants to stoke fears that doing so will damage the property market.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The deflationary numbers this week will help with that message as the election date gets closer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is little need for fear about Labor’s ETS plans, but for a different reason.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The lion’s share of work to reduce emissions won’t even begin until the mid-2020s, long after Bill Shorten’s tenure as PM has come to an end, in the still unlikely event he wins the July election. Put simply, the claimed emissions reduction targets of Labor are posturing and little more. It is a sign that opposition strategists have made a twofold call: they don’t want to damage their left flank by shunning climate change action but they fear a scare campaign if short-term binding targets showing how they will reach their long-term goal are outlined.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Supreme Court decision in Papua New Guinea this week also has brought the <b>refugee</b> issue back front and centre. While the closure of the Manus Island detention centre is a challenge for the government, it gave Immigration Minister Peter Dutton the excuse he needed to remind voters that returning Labor to power would see the flow of <b>boat</b> arrivals resume. Tick the stoking fear box once more.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While the Coalition is using fear effectively as a campaign tool, fear is the Coalition’s biggest problem because it risks creating public messiness, and with that an ill-disciplined campaign that will jeopardise seats. Again, the self-fulfilling prophecy concept rears its head. I’m talking about fear of becoming a one-term government, the first federally since 1931.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The polls have tightened, with the Coalition falling marginally behind Labor. Turnbull’s personal numbers also have weakened substantially. Coalition and Labor strategists alike know these numbers aren’t indicators of voting intentions, just disappointment. The public wants the government to know it isn’t impressed with what it has seen since the change of PM, but that doesn’t guarantee a vote for Shorten. Try telling that to nervous marginal seat holders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Political scientists will tell you that most voters make up their minds who to vote for only at the pointy end of the campaign — in the final week, if not days before the vote. The fear of complacency has been knocked out of Turnbull’s camp and, as long as panic doesn’t replace it, the closeness of the electoral contest should reduce the protest vote phenomenon against the government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Don’t forget, most federal elections are tight contests, far more so historically than state showdowns.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And with the likes of pollster Mark Textor on the case the one thing Labor strategists probably should fear is a cut-through advertising campaign driving voters to stick with the Coalition rather than “risk” change. It will be driven by quantitative and qualitative research by Textor’s company, as it was so successfully during John Howard’s prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For all the claimed dysfunction in Tony Abbott’s office, the tin ear his colleagues believed he had towards them and the stumbles on relatively trivial matters such as reinstating the appointment of knights and dames in the honours system, the biggest thing I never understood is why Team Abbott kicked Textor to the kerb.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s campaigning skills have long outgunned the Coalitions, and Shorten is nothing if not a well-oiled campaigner. Textor helps even the score, reason surely for Liberals who depend on his advice to put his brashness to one side and commission him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">All of this explains why fear itself is what voters also need to stand up to when making an informed decision on polling day. Those in the know have long realised negative campaigning is more effective than positive messaging, and that’s the strategy on which the government is embarking. Seeing through the fear it stokes is the challenge for voters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Not that Labor’s campaign is shunning the embrace of fear as a political weapon. It’s doing so in a craftier way, that’s all: fear of big corporations not paying their fair share of tax (never mind that half of the electorate pay no net income tax); fears the banks may be engaged in systemic fraud, hence the need for a royal commission into exactly what they are up to.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor also wants voters to fear for the education of their children, and the healthcare they hope to get in their old age. This is where the attack on the 2014 budget handed down by Joe Hockey lives on in Labor’s messaging.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, away from the strategies of the parties and the fear they hope to drum up, the real fear most people rightly have is that this is an election for the political professionals; their chance to compete to retain or attain power for its own sake, rather than shape the nation for future prosperity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And with that, bring on the budget this Tuesday.Peter van Onselen is a professor at the University of Western Australia.</p>

The advice to the International Health and Medical Services, the organisation Australia has charged with overseeing health services on Nauru and Manus Island, came from the Australian government. Despite abortion being illegal Papua New Guinea, Australia sent at least two refugees for pregnancy terminations at Pacific International Hospital (PIH) in Port Moresby, it was revealed on Friday. This, barrister Ron Merkel told the Federal Court, was tantamount to Australia "procuring illegal conduct" in PNG. The practice was part of the Australian government's determination that people who arrived by <b>boat</b> in Australia, and were instead sent to Manus Island or Nauru, would not set foot on Australian soil, a senior bureaucrat told the court. The Federal Court in Melbourne is considering the case of a young African woman, known as S99, who was having a violent epilepsy seizure and was barely conscious when she was raped on Nauru. Abortion is illegal in the tiny nation. The woman, who was married at 16 to an abusive husband who later tracked her down and denounced her to the murderous <span class="companylink">al-Shabaab</span>
</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">group, was granted <b>refugee</b> status by Nauru. She is now more than 12weeks pregnant and has severe mental illness, her legal team says. As <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> revealed a fortnight ago, the woman's legal battles began when she begged Australian officials on Nauru to let her come here to terminate the pregnancy. Instead, Australia sent her to Port Moresby where she remains in limbo. In PNG, a woman who "attempts to procure her own miscarriage" faces a maximum seven years' jail. Last year a PNG couple were jailed for five years for causing the death of their unborn child. But the federal government says the risk of her being prosecuted for having an abortion is negligible, and it does not bear responsibility for her care. David Nockels, assistant secretary of Australian Border Force's detention services division, told the court he had not sought independent legal advice about sending the woman to PNG. Instead, he sought the advice of Mathias Sapuri, a senior consultant, obstetrician and gynaecologist at PIH hospital, who is also a shareholder of the hospital. Mr Nockels sent the woman to PNG against the "urgent" medical advice of senior health officials on Nauru, who recommended she come to Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was Malcolm Turnbull's so-called "Tampa moment", when the Prime Minister delivered the declaration on border protection that could so easily have been penned by Tony Abbott. But it was an anti-climax.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than an hour before Turnbull faced the media in a Hobart suburb on Thursday morning, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton was having one of his regular on-air chats with Ray Hadley, the Sydney radio talkback host who was one of Abbott's strongest supporters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadley began by offering "just a little bit of history" on the topic of border protection, recalling how John Howard's Pacific Solution began with the interception of a Norwegian freighter, the Tampa, taking rescued <b>asylum</b> seekers to Australia, and how this was "central" to the Coalition's 2001 election victory.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Hadley then confided that listeners had written to him, "a bit concerned that the Prime Minister doesn't have the stomach for what you're talking about and it's a real battle to keep these people out of the country".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Implicit were two insinuations: that, deep down, Turnbull lacked the hard, ruthless edge of Abbott, Scott Morrison and Dutton when it came to border protection; and that these people had forfeited any right to consideration.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Dutton's message to Hadley and his listeners was not to worry. "Ray, he's rock solid," Dutton assured Hadley. "I spoke to him a couple of times this morning on the phone, he's down in Tasmania [and] he's as adamant as I am that these people will not be coming to our country and we've said that from day one."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On cue, Turnbull signalled he was indeed rock solid, reprising Labor's abysmal record on <b>boat</b> arrivals, insisting that any transfer of refugees from Manus to Australia would restart the people smuggling trade, and coining his own seven-word slogan: "A strong Australia is a secure Australia."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On Friday the PM went even further. "We can't afford to let the empathy that we feel for the desperate circumstances that many people find themselves in to cloud our judgment," he told 3AW's Neil Mitchell. "Our national security has to come first."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He also made it crystal clear that the Coalition will exploit the issue in the election campaign at every opportunity. "You cannot trust them," he said of Labor. "You would have to back hope over experience if you thought a Labor government would be safe on borders."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Earlier in the week, Turnbull had shown that he was "rock solid" on Abbott's climate change policy too, signalling his readiness to run a carbon-tax scare campaign against the Labor policy big business had tacitly endorsed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The problem for Turnbull on both fronts, and on negative gearing and marriage equality, is that his position now sits so uncomfortably with his past statements and, more importantly, with the expectations of many who greeted his ascension with such unbridled enthusiasm and hope.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Put simply, Turnbull is disappointing voters because the story he is telling them now is not the story he conveyed before he tore down Abbott, and this goes to the heart of his "who do you trust" pitch to the electorate.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor insiders say this conclusion was reflected in focus group discussion this week. "For a leader who started with such high expectations and so much goodwill, what has happened must appear almost inexplicable," reported my source. "For many, he is the man who just didn't deliver."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That, of course, is an utterly premature verdict. Tuesday's budget is Turnbull's opportunity to encourage voters to reassess and engage before, either next Friday or over the weekend, he calls the formal campaign for the July 2 double dissolution election he is still strongly favoured to win.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mantra is "jobs and growth", and Turnbull is exuding confidence about a positive reception. "People will look at that budget and say this is a government that is determined to ensure that my children and my grandchildren have great jobs in the future," he told Mitchell on Friday. We'll see.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The other problem with Turnbull's willingness to revisit Abbott's scare campaigns on boats and carbon pricing is that the nation has moved on from 2013.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On climate change, the experience was that the economy grew and emissions fell under Labor's scheme, despite the predictions of doom. Concern about global warming has grown, propelled by reports of the extent of coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef. The new Labor policy has been generally well-received.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Business Council of Australia chief executive Jennifer Westacott put it, the policy has the potential to provide a springboard to "the energy and climate change policy durability needed to support the critical transformation to a lower-emission future".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A hard-line on border protection is still a big electoral plus for the Coalition, but many in the middle struggle to see how both sides of politics can persist with an approach that demonstrably continues to destroy the minds and spirits of vulnerable people who came seeking Australia's protection.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They struggle to reconcile Dutton's boast, that the government had been preparing for the PNG Supreme Court's decision that the detention of about 900 <b>asylum</b> seekers was in clear breach of PNG's constitution, with Turnbull's candid admission that there is "no roadmap" of where to go now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are bewildered by Turnbull's blithe assertion that the detainees can return to their home countries, when most have been found to have a genuine fear of persecution if they go back; or that they can settle in PNG, when the handful who have left the centre are living in fear and poverty.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are puzzled that the government says it is negotiating with third countries to resettle those on Nauru and Manus, but can only name Cambodia, where tens of millions of dollars have been spent for negligible return.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They are baffled that John Howard managed to stop the boats, with most of those found to be refugees on Nauru and Manus settled in Australia and New Zealand, yet Turnbull (and Labor) assert that no one from Nauru or Manus will end up in Australia or New Zealand because this would re-start the smugglers' trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull went so far on Friday as to suggest resettlement in a country like New Zealand would be used as a marketing opportunity by the smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But, most of all, people are nonplussed that the man who prides himself on policy agility and possessing empathy and the "imagination that enables you to walk in somebody else's shoes", now asserts that we can't let empathy cloud our judgment and has no answer beyond inflicting more harm.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps the most stupefying aspect of our <b>asylum</b> seeker debate is that we call it a debate in the first place. It's not. It's a complete political consensus. Our current policies are a bipartisan concoction; the result of years of mutual posturing, outflanking and then outbidding. "You're banishing <b>asylum</b> seekers to detention centres in the Australian desert? Fine, we'll send them to Nauru for processing!" "You're still resettling them here? We'll banish them forever!" "Oh yeah? We'll get an army general to do it!" And so on.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's hugely disingenuous. The Coalition claims sole credit for stopping the boats, never acknowledging that the most important part of its policy - the mandatory shunting of people to Nauru and Papua New Guinea, never to return to Australia - was Kevin Rudd 's.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition added some turnbacks and maybe some other things they've decided are top secret, but the truth is that <b>boat</b> arrivals slowed significant before Tony Abbott was even elected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor, meanwhile, is happy to blame the Coalition for whatever aspect of the policy disintegrates, never acknowledging its role in the catastrophe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's what is particularly nauseating about watching Labor trying to make political mileage out of <b>asylum</b> seeker policy. And on that score, what a nauseating week it has been.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They have botched this from day one," puffed Labor's immigration spokesman Richard Marles when Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court ruled our detention centre there to be illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But here's the problem: that centre was always illegal. It didn't suddenly become illegal when Abbott took power. Marles is right it was botched from day one, but that was Labor's day. It takes some special level of gall to establish an illegal detention centre, then insist it's the Coalition's mess.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's no great surprise here. This was such an obvious violation of the PNG constitution that the PNG government tried frantically in 2014 to change the constitution to make it legal. When the moment of truth arrived, neither the PNG nor Australian governments mounted a meaningful defence. This die was long cast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Marles' only real defence is to say this whole centre should be empty by now; that we might have got away with it if only the getaway car had turned up on time. Hence: "PNG never imagined people would be on Manus for so long - we didn't either."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well, that's a monstrous failure of imagination, then. Because while it's true Labor said its Manus centre would be empty in a year, it's also true there was no plan to make that happen. It was an entirely unaccountable dream: a declaration utterly devoid of meaning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor never knew where these people would be resettled, once found to be refugees. It never handed the Coalition a stack of agreements with other countries guaranteeing these people would have a home. It passed on a detention regime made of matchsticks. Now it stands ready to tut, the moment things collapse.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, the real feat of imagination here would have been to pretend this could end any other way. Because the PNG Supreme Court this week did nothing more than reveal the obvious: that our policy was only ever to sweep <b>asylum</b> seekers under someone else's rug. It was designed to stop boats coming to us, but solve no greater problem than that. We've not brokered an agreement with our regional neighbours to share the load, because we've preferred instead to bribe the poorest nations into removing the problem from our sight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Occasionally, as in Cambodia's case, we've paid them dozens of millions of dollars for almost exactly nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pursue that kind of non-policy and eventually it catches up with you. Manus is full of people already found to be refugees, stuck in a country that says it simply cannot afford to take them, and right next to one that very easily could.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They're there because "stop the boats" - in truth a bipartisan slogan - only ever masked a question we could never answer: what happens to these people? What happens to the ones who don't die at sea, or the ones we convince to return home? Do they die elsewhere? We don't really know because the minute they aren't on boats headed for us, they cease to exist. And as far as we're concerned, their misery doesn't exist either.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's why all the stories simply wash over us. Reza Berati is killed under our care. The ABC's Four Corners program reveals that Hamid Khazaei died because the Immigration Department pointlessly delayed vital medical treatment. This week we learnt an Iranian man set himself on fire in Nauru. None of this fundamentally moves us because we've constructed an elaborate world that makes this simply the cost of doing business, rather than anything that registers as a series of tragedies we've helped create. Nothing gets in the way, except when a court uses brute force.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's when you'll find Richard Marles, not questioning how his own party's scheme could be so hopelessly conceived, but demanding Peter Dutton fly to PNG to keep this thing alive. Somehow. Anyhow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's also when you'll find Peter Dutton responding by saying refugees from Manus "will not be settled in Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's not even remotely an answer to the question of what we'll do now that our main policy has been quashed. But it is the only thing anyone since Rudd has ever needed to say.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Except now we're being asked a different question. It's telling that PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has "welcomed this outcome" from the Supreme Court. It's telling that he so quickly confirmed he would shut the centre. It's telling that he said the centre "has done a lot more damage than probably anything else". Seems even the bribery isn't enough any more. Our servants are turning and their courts are catching up with us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The design flaws of our policy are slowly being exposed. Labor can try to revel if it likes, but let's be abundantly clear: it's revelling in its own failure.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the 15 years since it was opened the detention centre on placid Manus Island has closed and reopened — but always in response to shifting Australian political tides.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this week, as the Pacific island — and the whole of Papua New Guinea — has been portrayed as a place of horrors, the PNG Supreme Court made a decisive intervention of its own and ordered the facility closed on constitutional grounds.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Virtually every major political figure in Australia and PNG has concluded over the past decade and a half that Manus should be used as a processing centre for those attempting to reach Australia by <b>boat</b>. This was a theme endorsed by Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull yesterday, who said “none of the (905) detainees there will come to Australia”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There will be no transfer of those individuals to Australia because to do that would send a signal to the people-smugglers to get back into business, and that is utterly unacceptable.” John Howard and former PNG prime minister Mekere Morauta agreed the original arrangement on the Manus centre, which was upheld by Michael Somare.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Kevin Rudd closed the centre in early 2008 to fulfil an election pledge. But then it was reopened under Julia Gillard, and Rudd on his return as prime minister did a U-turn and laid the foundation for the new, tough policy implemented by Tony Abbott — to ensure no boats arrived in Australian waters.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Treasurer Scott Morrison had been deeply involved as immigration minister, as has Labor’s Richard Marles, who as Pacific Affairs Secretary then as Immigration spokesman, has used his close connections with PNG to help guide policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite the bitterness that the program has aroused within Australia and overseas, the events of the last two years in Europe have been highlighted as providing further justification by Australian leaders — with at least 3370 people drowning en route for Europe according to the <span class="companylink">International Organisation for Migration</span> in 2015, when 1.8 million people came over the borders, driving politics towards the far right.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">On the other Pacific solution outpost of Nauru, the detention centre’s management has evolved substantially, so that now the <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Nauru are free to move around the island. But it is only 21 sq km, a fifteenth the size of Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Nauru comprises a nation — whereas Manus is only a province, which cannot easily be excised legally from the rest of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If people are free to move around Manus, it would be impossible without a substantial legislative move, to prevent them going anywhere in PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The dominant PNG political leader of the last five years, Peter O’Neill, has until now been a staunch backer of the Manus arrangement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said three years ago, after making a joint announcement with Rudd, that there were “three basic reasons” for his support.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One was that “our closest neighbour, and our best friend, Australia, has a serious problem — and needs help in addressing it”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Second, “we are a member of the global community, and our own regional community, and we must be prepared to do some of the heavy lifting when it comes to global and regional issues”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Third, “we are a Christian nation. Our Christianity surely requires we exercise compassion — and exercising compassion surely means discouraging the evil practice of people-smuggling”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Hundreds of <b>asylum</b>-seekers have drowned because the people- smugglers are only interested in their money — not their welfare and their safety.” The revenue from Canberra to house the centre has also come in handy, especially for Manus itself, one of PNG’s poorer provinces, lacking the mineral resources found elsewhere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A new market has been erected in Lorengau, the provincial capital, new roads have been built, and many jobs created as results, direct and indirect, of the operation of the centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Manus MP Ronnie Knight said this week that his constituents expect the pace of new projects to be maintained even as the centre is closed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">O’Neill agrees, saying the closure of the centre would have a negative effect on the local economy on Manus, and that his government would work with Australia to seek to minimise ­damage to businesses and workers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the last financial year, the Manus and Nauru centres — the Immigration and Border Protection Department does not separate out the expenditure — cost more than $1 billion, $100 million beyond budget. About $400,000 per inmate per year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the same time, onshore management costs were 16 per cent below budget — saving more than $320m.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus centre has provided a lever for the PNG government to push for the redesign of the overall aid program from Canberra — although the Manus centre’s budget is separate from the aid budget.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The proportion of the PNG budget reliant on Australian aid has fallen since independence 40 years ago from 40 per cent to nearer 5 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the aid level remains high — $554m this financial year, 13.7 per cent of Australia’s total aid budget. After Indonesia had overtaken it, PNG has returned as the biggest recipient.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">O’Neill, his stocks in Canberra boosted by the upgraded Manus deal with Rudd, then reinforced with Tony Abbott , announced: “For the first time we are realigning our aid program in PNG with the Australians, where we, the PNG government, will now set all the priorities under which Australian aid program will now be directed.” One aim has been to increase rapidly the proportion of aid spent on infrastructure, towards 50 per cent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But frustration has crept into the formerly tight relationship between Canberra and Port Moresby. It is understood O’Neill is frustrated that Immigration Minister Peter Dutton has repeatedly said that the dilemma now confronting this core ingredient of the Pacific solution is “a matter for the PNG government”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For — while the court has ordered that the inmates must not be held in contradiction to the constitutional right to freedom of movement for those not charged with an offence, and only the PNG government can detain them — they are perceived in PNG to have been detained, crucially, at Australia’s own request.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">O’Neill is also facing an election in just over a year, and does not wish this issue to drag on — giving the diminished but ever-dangerous opposition the opportunity to leverage from it during the campaign, portraying him as a paralysed vassal of Canberra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The social consequences of releasing the 905 people on Manus, almost all of them Muslim, into a Christian community anxious about Islam, could further impact on the election in PNG, where many people have long expressed ambivalence about the Manus centre, uneasy about the fate of the inmates while understanding the desire to help Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The response to the Supreme Court’s decision has underlined the extent to which <b>asylum</b>-seeker policy has also appeared to distort policy in relation to PNG, and perceptions of PNG itself.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But within PNG today, there is a greater media focus on the state visit of Indian President Pranab Mukherjee; on the death in hospital of Anderson Agiru, the energetic governor of Hela, PNG’s most gas-rich province in which O’Neill’s own constituency lies; and on the resignation of Somare from the National Alliance Party he founded.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The cooling of O’Neill’s support for the Manus centre is clear from the statement he issued the day after the court’s judgment, saying he would “immediately” ask the Australian government “to make alternative arrangements for the <b>asylum</b>-seekers” held on Manus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said negotiations with Canberra would focus on the time frame for closing the facility and for managing the settlement of legitimate refugees who wish to stay in PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is understood that the Chief Justice, Salamo Injia, is seeking to ensure the centre is closed swiftly — or at least, that convincing moves are made towards this goal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That gives Canberra only one realistic option, given yesterday’s remark by Turnbull, that “they will not come to Australia, I want to be very, very clear about that”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That means a flight to Christmas Island — in the case of most of the inmates, a return flight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">O’Neill on Wednesday reiterated remarks he recently made at the Australian Press Club, that “we did not anticipate the <b>asylum</b>-seekers to be kept as long as they have at the Manus centre”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“For those that have been deemed to be legitimate refugees, we invite them to live in PNG only if they want to be a part of our society and make a contribution to our community,” he said. ‘‘It is clear that several of these refugees do not want to settle in PNG, and that is their decision.” Gillian Triggs, the Australian Human Rights Commission president, has this week foreshadowed the potential under “international law” or “perhaps initially some form of mediation or conciliation, possibly even an agreed arbitration of the matter, but ultimately it would be of course possible for one to bring another state before the <span class="companylink">International Court of Justice</span> — the world court — for determination”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While O’Neill may not be pleased with the way Manus has been managed by Australia, it is virtually inconceivable that he would take Canberra to the ICJ or to any external arbitrator over this or almost any other issue, such is the remaining closeness of the relationship at many levels.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There will be many aftermaths from the closure of Manus, which will bring some relief in both countries as well as anxiety in Canberra about the prospect of a resumption of the people-smuggling trade.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But a court battle as both countries face elections is one of the few options that should be ruled out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Open and shut case for a controversial detention centre Manus is the most remote province of Papua New Guinea, 270km northeast of the main island. Almost all the 50,000 population live on an island of 100km by 30km.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">'Stopping the boats' was a bipartisan policy and both sides of politics are responsible for its monstrous outcomes.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Perhaps the most stupefying aspect of our <b>asylum</b> seeker debate is that we call it a debate in the first place. It's not. It's a complete political consensus. Our current policies are a bipartisan concoction; the result of years of mutual posturing, outflanking and then outbidding. "You're banishing <b>asylum</b> seekers to detention centres in the Australian desert? Fine, we'll send them to Nauru for processing!" "You're still resettling them here? We'll banish them forever!" "Oh yeah? We'll get an army general to do it!" And so on.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's hugely disingenuous. The Coalition claims sole credit for stopping the boats, never acknowledging that the most important part of its policy - the mandatory shunting of people to Nauru and Papua New Guinea, never to return to Australia - was Kevin Rudd 's.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Coalition added some turnbacks and maybe some other things they've decided are top secret, but the truth is that <b>boat</b> arrivals slowed significantly before Tony Abbott was even elected.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor, meanwhile, is happy to blame the Coalition for whatever aspect of the policy disintegrates, never acknowledging its role in the catastrophe.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's what is particularly nauseating about watching Labor trying to make political mileage out of <b>asylum</b> seeker policy. And on that score, what a nauseating week it has been.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They have botched this from day one," puffed Labor's immigration spokesman Richard Marles when Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court ruled our detention centre there to be illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But here's the problem: that centre was always illegal. It didn't suddenly become illegal when Abbott took power. Marles is right it was botched from day one, but that was Labor's day. It takes some special level of gall to establish an illegal detention centre, then insist it's the Coalition's mess.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There's no great surprise here. This was such an obvious violation of the PNG constitution that the PNG government tried frantically in 2014 to change the constitution to make it legal. When the moment of truth arrived, neither the PNG nor Australian governments mounted a meaningful defence. This die was long cast.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Marles' only real defence is to say this whole centre should be empty by now; that we might have got away with it if only the getaway car had turned up on time. Hence: "PNG never imagined people would be on Manus for so long - we didn't either."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Well, that's a monstrous failure of imagination, then. Because while it's true Labor said its Manus centre would be empty in a year, it's also true there was no plan to make that happen.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was an entirely unaccountable dream: a declaration utterly devoid of meaning.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor never knew where these people would be resettled, once found to be refugees. It never handed the Coalition a stack of agreements with other countries guaranteeing these people would have a home. It passed on a detention regime made of matchsticks. Now it stands ready to tut, the moment the thing collapses.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, the real feat of imagination here would have been to pretend this could end any other way. Because the PNG Supreme Court this week did nothing more than reveal the obvious: that our policy was only ever to sweep <b>asylum</b> seekers under someone else's rug. It was designed to stop boats coming to us, but solve no greater problem than that. We've not brokered an agreement with our regional neighbours to share the load because we've preferred instead to bribe the poorest nations into removing the problem from our sight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Occasionally, as in Cambodia's case, we've paid them dozens of millions of dollars for almost exactly nothing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Pursue that kind of non-policy and eventually it catches up with you. Manus is full of people already found to be refugees, stuck in a country that says it simply cannot afford to take them, and right next to one that very easily could.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They're there because "stop the boats" - in truth a bipartisan slogan - only ever masked a question we could never answer: what happens to these people? What happens to the ones who don't die at sea, or the ones we convince to return home? Do they die elsewhere? We don't really know because the minute they aren't on boats headed for us, they cease to exist. And as far as we're concerned, their misery doesn't exist either.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's why all the stories simply wash over us. Reza Berati is killed under our care. The ABC's Four Corners program reveals that Hamid Khazaei died because the Immigration Department pointlessly delayed vital medical treatment. This week we learnt an Iranian man set himself on fire in Nauru.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of this fundamentally moves us because we've constructed an elaborate world that makes this simply the cost of doing business, rather than anything that registers as a series of tragedies we've helped create. Nothing gets in the way, except when a court uses brute force.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's when you'll find Richard Marles, not questioning how his own party's scheme could be so hopelessly conceived, but demanding Peter Dutton fly to PNG to keep this thing alive. Somehow. Anyhow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's also when you'll find Peter Dutton responding by saying refugees from Manus "will not be settled in Australia".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's not even remotely an answer to the question of what we'll do now that our main policy has been quashed. But it is the only thing anyone since Rudd has ever needed to say.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Except now we're being asked a different question. It's telling that PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has "welcomed this outcome" from the Supreme Court. It's telling that he so quickly confirmed he would shut the centre. It's telling that he said the centre "has done a lot more damage than probably anything else". Seems even the bribery isn't enough any more. Our servants are turning and their courts are catching up with us.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The design flaws of our policy are slowly being exposed. Labor can try to revel if it likes, but let's be abundantly clear: it's revelling in its own failure.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The former prime minister’s decision to prevent 438 <b>asylum</b> seekers from Afghanistan from entering Australia after they had been rescued from drowning at sea by the Norwegian container ship was supported by up to 90 per cent of Australians.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Howard and Coalition went on to win the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Tampa decision led to the Pacific Solution that sent <b>asylum</b> seekers to Nauru and Manus Island in Papua New Guinea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There are many corollaries between Mr Howard’s Tampa moment and Mr Turnbull’s. From the time the Tampa arrived off Christmas Island and Mr Howard made the decision to send SAS troops aboard to stop the ship from reaching Australian waters there were 78 days before the 2001 election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull has 64 days before the election he will call after next week’s Budget. Yesterday, he seized on the decision by PNG Prime Minister Peter O’Neill to uphold the finding of the country’s Supreme Court that detaining 850 Iranian <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island is illegal.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Once again, Labor faces opposition from within as some of its MPs call for the Manus Island detainees to be brought to Australia for processing and those found to be genuine refugees allowed to settle here.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is in direct contravention of Labor Party policy, achieved after Opposition Leader Bill Shorten conceded that the Coalition’s policy of turning back the boats was one that worked.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Under Labor’s watch, some 1200 <b>asylum</b> seekers drowned as they tried to reach Australia on leaky people smugglers’ boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Four MPs from Labor’s Left faction have now broken ranks and Mr Shorten faces the beginnings of an upheaval that saw Labor governments unable to maintain an effective immigration policy that would not only protect the nation’s borders, but save lives.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull is vigorously supporting the Sovereign Borders policy put into such dramatic effect by Tony Abbott , the prime minister he forced out of office last year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Stopping the boats became Mr Abbott’s mantra and helped him to win the 2013 election. This is not a time for turning back.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Kevin Rudd reversed his own policy from his previous term as prime minister after Julia Gillard picked up on Mr Howard’s Pacific Solution to send <b>asylum</b> seekers to Manus Island under an arrangement with the PNG government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull plays at being both Mr Howard and Mr Abbott. He tells Australians not to be “misty-eyed’’ about the policy that will prevent detainees ever being resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“They will not come to Australia’’, he says. “That is absolutely clear and the PNG government knows that.’’ Just as clearly, it is not the PNG government’s problem. It is Mr Turnbull’s and while he took the opportunity to also wag his finger at Labor, which may have a problem in keeping its Left-wing in check, Mr Turnbull’s difficulties may prove the greater.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There was unnecessary confusion yesterday as Minister for Immigration Peter Dutton appeared to be hedge his bets by saying the Manus Island detainees would not be settled in Australia and then later saying they will not be “permanently’’ settled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What’s in a word?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Will they be going to Christmas Island where the Tampa moment came to John Howard all those years ago? Will they be going to Nauru? Will they be going to Christmas Island?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said the <b>asylum</b> seekers could be accommodated on Nauru, but Mr Turnbull was not so sure. He said he didn’t have “a road map” to where they might go.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That’s not the sort of response people expect from a Prime Minister. It sounded dangerously like dithering over a predicament Mr Dutton claimed the government has been aware of for some time. If that is an answer, what is the government’s plan is the question.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">LABOR has been quick to criticise the government without having any answers of its own and in the meantime, <b>asylum</b> seeker advocate groups, lawyers and the Greens want <b>asylum</b> seekers processed in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This would be a disaster.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The people smugglers’ boats would return with their desperate cargoes and there would be more drownings at sea.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While many perished beyond our shores, no one who witnessed the traumatic events of December 2010 will forget the sight of <b>asylum</b> seekers drowning after their flimsy <b>boat</b> was smashed against the rocks of Christmas Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The people smugglers’ boats must not return. Expecting the PNG government to overturn its Constitution to accommodate Australia is abrogating our responsibilities. It’s not worthy of our government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull says what he won’t do, but he needs to say what he will do. He has seized his Tampa Moment, now he must seize what is emerging as a major election issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But it’s Labor that is more in danger of capsize.A</p>

MALCOLM Turnbull has dec­lared no illegal <b>boat</b> arrival will ever settle in Australia while he is Prime Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Brighton Mayor Tony Foster and Tasmanian Labor Senator Lisa Singh said the disused Pontville Detention Centre could be used to provide temporary housing for up to 500 displaced Manus refugees, Mr Turnbull said “a strong Australia is a secure Australia”.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We cannot be misty-eyed about this,’’ Mr Turnbull said in Hobart. “None of the people currently residing at Manus, none of the detainees there, will come to Australia. They will not come to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We have to be very clear and determined in our national purpose. “If we want to have secure borders, if we want to ensure that women and children are not drowning at sea, put into leaky, dangerous boats by criminals and gangsters, by people smugglers, then we must have secure borders and we do and we will, and they will remain so, as long as I am the Prime Minister of this country.” Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill announced this week the Manus Island centre would be closed following a ruling from the country’s Supreme Court that it was illegal and the Austral­ian Government needed to make alternative arran­ge­ments for the <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten said Labor was on a “unity ticket” when it came to offshore processing.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Senator Singh said Pontville — one of four onshore centres shut down in 2014 — should be considered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The bones are still there. It would cost but any solution to this problem will cost. The community here is supportive and it would also create jobs,” Senator Singh said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She had been “reliably informed” the Pontville centre could be rapidly rehabilitated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“While prolonged detention of refugees is never ideal, Pontville has a reputation as a ­humane and preferable option. It’s a proven location for temporarily accommodating ref­ugees,” she said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Ideally, people deemed to have <b>refugee</b> status should be able to have the opportunity to settle in our country after being processed at Pontville.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I’m therefore calling on the Turnbull Government to immediately investigate reopening the Pontville centre and make it a temporary resettlement option for displaced Manus Island refugees.” Mr Foster said the council had long argued the Pontville Centre should have been left so it could be used in emergency situations, such as bushfires or a sudden demand to house people in need.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The power and sewerage infrastructure is still there and it would take about two weeks to get it up and running again,” he said. “We are looking for bipartisan political support to make this work.” Immigration Minister Peter Dutton accused Labor of being unable to control borders.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Mr Shorten has not even been able to get to the election starting line without disunity boiling over,’’ he said. “The people smugglers up there bel­ieve that if there is a change of government the boats will restart and the people smugglers will be back into business.”The future of 900 men on Manus Island is unlikely to be determined for several months after the Papua New Guinea government decided to close the facility.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull is desperate to talk about two things: illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals and the carbon tax.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the past two days, the ­Opposition Leader has had no choice about confronting the offshore detention centre closure on Manus Island and fending off comparisons with Julia Gillard’s broken pledge.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For his part, the Prime Minister went out of his way to repeat Tony Abbott’s mantra of “we stopped the boats”, as a carbon-tax campaign was linked to “electricity Bill”. He wanted to dispel any suggestion he still harboured some of the warmer sentiments expressed previously on <b>asylum</b>-seekers and an emissions trading scheme.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There’s no doubt for the moment that under the increased pressure of an election campaign, Shorten’s desperation is keener and he’s suffering more damage. After years of failed border protection, the last thing Labor wants to talk about is border protection of any flavour and in any context.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Its argument that the Turnbull and Abbott governments have mishandled the Manus Island detention centre is an autumn fig leaf given consideration only ­because its there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor reopened Manus Island with no real idea of how many people would come, how long they would be there or where they would go. It was a short-term, pre-election plan of convenience that always rested on payments to PNG and was subject to the vagaries of Port Moresby politics.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor’s claims the government has failed to find places for those on the island are true, but Labor is committed to exactly the same policies and procedures — a “unity ticket”, as Shorten said yesterday. What’s more, any talk about illegal <b>boat</b> arrivals works against Labor politically.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">So for Shorten, the less said the better; likewise about a carbon tax. Given the notoriety of Gillard’s broken pledge — that there would be no carbon tax under a government she led — Shorten’s attempt to rule out a carbon tax has ­doubled back and bitten him.Despite Labor’s efforts to produce an ETS without a fixed price, saying there will not be a carbon tax makes him sound like Gillard in another area where there is zero trust for Labor.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Left-wing MPs Melissa Parke, Lisa Singh, Jill Hall and Sue Lines made the election-eve call in defiance of official Labor policy which supports offshore processing and bars those who arrive by <b>boat</b> being settled in Australia.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australians must question how Mr Shorten would ever maintain the border protection measures that have stopped the boats and stopped the deaths at sea should Labor ever be returned to government,’’ Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The reality is Labor will talk tough before an election and cave-in in government, bringing a return of the people smugglers’ boats and the illegal maritime arrivals.’’ But Mr Shorten sought to cauterise the issue by saying his party and the Government shared the same position on people smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Australians should know — and even more importantly, people smugglers should know — that after the next election whether Labor is successful or Liberal, there is a unity ticket to defeat the people smugglers,’’ he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Shorten batted off the calls from his Left caucus members. “If Labor was elected on July 2, we will deliver regional resettlement. ... the ­answer is not to give in to the people smugglers,’’ he said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A court fight on Monday could narrow the options for settlement in other parts of PNG, as the country’s Supreme Court hears a claim that the <b>asylum</b>-seekers should be sent back to their ports of origin offshore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton is preparing for months of negotiation with his PNG counterparts over the problem, which could mean the crisis over­shadows the federal election campaign, with no final resolution until after the poll tipped for July 2.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Turnbull warned against being “misty-eyed” about the ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers’ plight and said the country’s “secure borders” would remain for the duration of his prime ministership.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We are seeking to ensure that the people detained at Manus can either settle in PNG, as they have the opportunity to do, or in third countries, but they will not come to Australia. I want to be very, very clear about that,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There will be no transfer of those individuals to Australia becaus­e to do that would send a signal to the people-smugglers to get back into business, and that is utterl­y unacceptable.” Mr Dutton has spoken to PNG Foreign Affairs and Immigration Minister Rimbink Pato, and Foreign Minister Julie Bishop spoke yesterday to PNG’s high commissioner in Australia Charles Lepani­.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is an issue that PNG needs to resolve,” Mr Dutton said yesterday, although he added that Australia would help. “We could provide financial support and we do already provide settlement packages to return people back to their countries of origin.” Bill Shorten blamed the government for mishandling the matter­ but Labor’s divisions have been laid bare by comments from four MPs — Melissa Parke, Anna Burke, Sue Lines and Lisa Singh — criticising offshore detention.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Heightening the clash over the Manus decision, Greens senator Sarah Hanson-Young declared that Australia should fly the asylum­-seekers here and close the detention camps.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“We should be flying the people­ from Indonesia, we shouldn’t be letting them get on the boats,” she told ABC radio.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott warned last night that the “people-smugglers would be back in business” if Australia accepted any of the Manus detainees — and that PNG had a responsibility to deliver on earlier agree­ments to process or resettle the <b>asylum</b>-seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Lawyers for former PNG oppos­ition leader Belden Namah will ask the country’s Supreme Court to rule that the <b>asylum</b>-seekers should leave the country.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PNG member of parliament representing Manus Island, Ron Knight, told The Australian there would be “no option” but to send the <b>asylum</b>-seekers out of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“The highest court in our country has made a ruling to close the centre down and immediately free the detainees,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Unless they agree to volunteer to stay there, which I do not think they will, they will be sent back to their port of origin, which I believe will be Nauru or Christmas Island.” Mr Dutton revealed yesterday that he had begun flying <b>asylum</b>-seekers out of Australia and back to Nauru, in the wake of an ­unsuccessful challenge to the Coal­ition’s offshore processing ­regime in the Australian High Court in February.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton cited the return of a woman and two men this week as proof of the government’s resolve. They are among a group of more than 200 <b>asylum</b>-seekers who initially­ sought <b>asylum</b> in Aus­tralia by <b>boat</b>, were sent to Nauru but were brought to Australia for medical treatment or to give birth.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Department of Immig­ration and Border Protection intended their stay on Australian soil to be temporary but while on the mainland, they joined the court challenge of a Bangladeshi <b>asylum</b>-seeker who did not want to return to Nauru with her newborn. The group now includes 37 babies born in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As speculation built yesterday about whether detainees on Manus Island would need to be shifted, attention turned to the Christmas Island Immigration Detention Centre, where a massive program of repairs and security upgrades is well advanced.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The centre now holds mostly convicted criminals fighting deportatio­n and is operating well below capacity.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At the end of last month, there were 183 men detained on Christmas Island, more than 10 fewer than in September last year before rioting broke out and more than 1000 fewer than in years past, when men slept 40 to a tent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton would not be drawn on whether Christmas Island was likely to hold detainees from Manus, saying only that there was capacity in several centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“There’s obviously capacity across the network … including on Nauru, because we have stopped the boats,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Since an <b>asylum</b>-seeker escaped and died outside the Christmas Island centre in November, triggering mayhem and destructive rampages by detainees, the department has installed a second perimeter fence with razor wire.</p>

Yet Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull admits his government doesn't have "a definitive road map" for the 850 male detainees in limbo there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PNG court ruling doesn't require the centre to be closed immediately, Mr Dutton says. Yet the judgment uses the word "forthwith", which means "immediately, without delay".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus Island detention facility could operate as an "open centre arrangement" to meet the individual freedom requirement of the PNG constitution, Mr Dutton says. Yet the centre has barbed wire, and refugees would most likely need permission to leave and a signed commitment to return.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The refugees - who by definition feared for their safety at home - can resettle in PNG, the governments in Port Moresby and Canberra say. Yet most Papua New Guineans don't want them resettled there and PNG cannot guarantee their safety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia has no responsibility anyway for resettling the Manus Island detainees under the memorandum of understanding with PNG, Mr Dutton says. Yet PNG and most observers say Australia does, both legally and morally.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia relies on medical advice to decide how quickly to return injured <b>asylum</b> seekers to offshore detention on Nauru and Manus Island. Yet Australian government officials have questioned or overridden medical advice when it suggests a detainee such as Hamid Kehazaei, from Iran, requires urgent evacuation to Australia. He died from sepsis due to delays in proper treatment in 2014.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">None of the detainees on Manus Island will be permanently resettled in Australia, Mr Dutton says, and Mr Turnbull says none of them will be coming here. Yet they might end up being detained indefinitely in the 1000-capacity centre on Christmas Island, alongside a few hundred criminals and visa-miscreants awaiting deportation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Nauru detention centre has room to take the 850 detainees on Manus. Yet that option seems a lower priority than helping PNG to skirt its constitution. The Nauruan government would accept the extra detainees. Yet it would not resettle any of them.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia paid Cambodia $40 million in a deal to resettle five refugees from the Nauru centres. Yet after they arrived three of them decided to return to their homelands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia is negotiating with other countries to strike <b>refugee</b> resettlement deals, Mr Dutton claims. Yet when New Zealand offered to resettle 150 refugees in February, the Turnbull government refused, fearing such an appealing destination might encourage more <b>boat</b> people.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Child <b>asylum</b> seekers need to be held in offshore detention as a deterrent to other <b>boat</b> people, the government claims. Yet dozens of child refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers live in community detention in Australia. Offshore detention saves lives because it deters <b>asylum</b> seekers from paying people smugglers for a dangerous <b>boat</b> voyage, the government says. Yet <b>boat</b> people here are already detained offshore in secretive and substandard centres where they endure mental and physical harm, even death.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Herald has supported elements of the <b>refugee</b> policies of the Rudd, Abbott and Turnbull governments. We accept that strengthened border security measures have stopped dangerous <b>boat</b> trips. We concede that denying permanent residency to <b>boat</b> people hurts people smugglers. Offshore detention can act as a deterrent.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But we have always insisted that the deterrent needs to be humane, to cause the least harm possible; independent oversight of the centres is essential; children should never be detained; offshore processing of <b>asylum</b>-seeker claims must be accelerated; <b>refugee</b> intake from other sources must be significantly increased; and all efforts must aim to secure sustainable resettlement.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Successive governments have failed on most counts. They have stopped the boats but not found a humane way to deal with people used as deterrence. Failure has been through incompetence and/or Australia trying to shift its responsibilities onto other nations and/or a deliberate action to attract votes that allegedly come from stopping <b>asylum</b> seekers by whatever means.</p>

Malcolm Turnbull went to Brisbane on Wednesday to talk about women in the construction industry. You may well have missed it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The visit was stuck between the announcement of the biggest naval contract in Australia's history, Labor's climate change policy and Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court ruling on the illegality of Australia's Manus Island detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the Brisbane visit says as much about how the 2016 election campaign will be fought out as any of the more momentous events that occurred this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The visit had been planned in the knowledge it would come just 24 hours after the government had announced its decision to build 12 submarines in Australia, and to award the $50 billion contract to French company <span class="companylink">DCNS</span>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the "olden" days, maybe even a couple of years ago, governments would set aside some time in the immediate aftermath of a major policy announcement to travel the country, selling the merits and/or details.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No one bothers to do that now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Political staff work on the presumption that nothing in politics has a shelf life of more than 24 hours any more so you might as well just move on, ready to stoke the news-cycle boiler with new copy on a different subject. The result, apart from anything else, is that issues of real significance tend to roll in and out of focus over months, picking up and losing people's attention, repeating arguments and sometimes going back to square one but travelling off in some new direction. Negative gearing is a classic example.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And you can be sure submarines will be back: the implications of a $50 billion build for industry across Australia will spark lots of local bushfires; the recalibration of our strategic relationship with Japan will take some time to play out.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There has been a clear escalation in the pace and energy of campaigning this week, ahead of the budget and the calling of the "official" election campaign next weekend.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The government elevated its attack on Labor over negative gearing, and made the long-awaited decision on submarines which - at the political level - stabilises its very precarious position in South Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor took its biggest policy gamble to date by outlining its climate change policy, and freeing the Coalition to run a carbon tax scare campaign against it.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And then PNG trumped both sides of politics on <b>asylum</b> seeker policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Suddenly the election campaign was being described as a repeat of 2013 - dominated by boats and climate change.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While these issues may be back on the agenda, it is not clear that they will play out in the same way as they did in 2013. Things have become much more complicated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, the Coalition is regarded as having a clear political advantage on <b>asylum</b> seekers. But what happens if boats start arriving during the campaign? If they are seen to be repelled by a <b>boat</b> turnaround policy, that might work for the government. But if some get through, it won't. If you were a people smuggler in Indonesia, you would be doing the calculations on Australia's reduced offshore detention capacity, wouldn't you?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, the government will keep reminding voters of Labor's record on this issue. But Labor has closed the policy gap on this issue. And voters will want to be reassured that the government has a new answer to this problem. Simply asserting lamely that "people will not come here" - if they clearly start to come - isn't going to really cut it. The question of what on earth the government has been doing for the past three years to find a permanent answer to this problem, when Manus and Nauru were so clearly temporary solutions, will be asked much more stridently.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Similarly, climate politics has become more complicated. As Labor has been fond of pointing out, Turnbull's record on an emissions trading scheme is well known and a long way from the simplistic position of Tony Abbott on carbon tax.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Labor's policy is a lot more nuanced and unthreatening in its detail than the old CPRS.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which brings us to two issues that haven't been quite discussed so much to date but which will prove crucial in the election campaign proper.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The first of these concerns the voters that the parties are trying to win over, and the electorates in play.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The second concerns the nature of the leaders of our two political parties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor's best chances come from being able to drag back some of its vote from the Greens on the left and from the Coalition in the centre. Turnbull's best outcome - not just in terms of the actual election result itself but in terms of his hold on his party - comes from holding on to the Coalition's base and grabbing votes from Labor in the centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's hard not to see Labor's climate change policy this week as being firmly pitched at its Left flank. While there is a lot of focus on Turnbull's difficulties with his conservative flank on climate change, it is also true that he doesn't want to be alienating voters in the centre or left on this issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If the centre is, more than ever, the battle ground, then the strangest comment of the week came from someone in the government who told The Australian Financial Review it would be "political suicide" to drop the income level at which superannuation contributions are taxed at a higher rate to $180,000 instead of the $250,000 level now being considered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Really? Would the Liberal Party base decamp to Labor for such a decision, particularly when higher income earners are apparently already going to be appeased with a lifting in the income tax bracket and the removal of the budget deficit levy?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It will not just be actual policies that determine the base line from which the election campaign is fought out. It will be the mix of push and pull factors in 2013 that got the electoral pendulum to where it is now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were all those voters who would normally vote for Labor but were so thoroughly over the Rudd-Gillard debacle that they switched camps. If Bill Shorten can persuade them that he is running a stable political operation, and one that is delivering a coherent policy platform that is prepared to take some political risks by advocating a traditional Labor agenda, he will be dangerous to the government. So far, he is doing just that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is why the message Tuesday's budget gives voters about where the government actually sits on the political spectrum, could prove just as important as the measures it contains about economic management.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At first blush, one could be forgiven for thinking the decision by Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court to outlaw that Manus Island detention centre is a political crisis the government can ill afford just over a week before calling an election.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">While it may present a logistical problem for Immigration Minister Peter Dutton and pose risks should it be mishandled - of which there are signs it has been - it is also comes as a political gift for the Coalition.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That it arrived on the same day Bill Shorten announced Labor's climate change policy, bringing back into play a price on carbon, has folk inside the Coalition silently squirming with joy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Just like that, on the eve of a federal election campaign, we are back to talking about carbon and boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Having boats in the public domain benefits the Coalition because it was Labor's policy reversals that led to the surge of arrivals between 2008 and 2013 and the need to reopen the camps on Nauru and Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Election after election has shown that the majority of voters backs the Coalition on this issue.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Every interview Peter Dutton does on the topic enables him to remind voters Labor caused the problem, the Coalition fixed it, and to avow once more that those on Manus will never be settled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Aided by recent events in Europe, Dutton dusted off the cheap lines thrown around by John Howard and Peter Reith during the 2001 campaign in which they conflated <b>boat</b> people with terrorists and to thus imply Labor was soft on terrorism.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Never before have we had an election that is so important in terms of national security," Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Until now, the Coalition had been pondering how to put boats back into the public consciousness.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Polling showed that the rapidity with which the government stopped the boats had the consequence of relegating <b>asylum</b>-seekers to a second-tier concern for voters. Dumping Tony Abbott made the achievement appear more distant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The only possible upside for Labor is if Dutton cannot sort out the issue cleanly, and the fact that Greens voters intending to send their preferences to Turnbull will change their minds as Turnbull shows he can be just as resolute as Abbott.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In fairness, Turnbull as opposition leader was always tough on the issue, taking Kevin Rudd to task for dismantling the Pacific solution and restarting the flow.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The issue of carbon pricing had also largely ebbed from the public consciousness until Labor announced its policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten had announced in July last year his plans to boost renewable energy and flagged that plans for emissions trading would revolve around the purchase of cheap permits, thus putting distance between the expensive and politically toxic scheme Julia Gillard negotiated with the Greens. He had to announce the policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When he did so on Wednesday, the government, like the voters to whom it was appealing, didn't bother with nuance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite support by such groups as the <span class="companylink">Business Council of Australia</span> which said Labor's policy was a good platform on which to build a final and bipartisan solution to climate change and end once and for all the policy wars which have raged since 2006, Turnbull and his ministers simply dusted of Abbott's attack lines about a great big new electricity tax and rushed out an attack ad.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Carbon and boats. Regardless of what Turnbull said about elevating politics above three-word slogans, expect to hear it ad nauseam between now and July 2.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As Australia heads to a federal election, it appears certain the fate of hundreds, and possibly thousands, of refugees will again emerge as a hotly divisive issue. Yet there is barely a breath of difference between the two major political parties on this issue. Both the Coalition and Labor have implemented and strongly supported a policy that has led to many hundreds of <b>asylum</b> seekers being detained for years on Nauru and Papua New Guinea's Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The stated rationale has been to deter other <b>asylum</b> seekers from approaching Australia by <b>boat</b>. But the human impact has been dreadful. People fleeing persecution have been deposited behind wire fences, left to wait without hope and without any clear indication of what will happen to them.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There can be no pretence that this is a satisfactory solution - or, indeed, a "solution" at all. It is a morally indefensible and inhumane practice that has been denounced by the <span class="companylink">UN High Commissioner for Refugees</span>, Amnesty International and others, and which smothers Australia with shame.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There must be an end to it. And perhaps there will be now that Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court has ruled that detaining <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island is in breach of human rights principles enshrined in PNG's Constitution.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The PNG government is not pushing back against the court's unanimous decision. It is not seeking a legislative fix that might regularise the problem. Instead, it says it will close Manus Island, and it says the responsibility for deciding what happens to the 900 men at the facility rests with Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has declared they will not be brought here. He says the government cannot be "misty-eyed" about their plight because to back down from the tough policies would send a green-light to people-smugglers to resume their trade. In our view, the court's decision exposes what a cockamamie, ramshackle and politically driven strategy the whole offshore processing arrangement has been. It was flawed from the outset because there was no endgame.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Look to the source of these problems. The tide of people seeking refuge does not ebb merely because Australia decides to ship some to remote islands. The circumstances of persecution that caused people to flee their own countries are not altered by locking them up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is imperative to stamp out the odious trade of people smugglers but, in doing so, governments should never lose sight of the people who genuinely need empathy and care. Deterrence strategies should not be punitive; they should not exacerbate the already-grievous situation of refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court's decision is a wake-up call for the entire region. It demonstrates how this tragic situation is a collective responsibility. The Turnbull government must work closely with regional neighbours to foster a co-operative, practical and durable manner of dealing with the flows of <b>asylum</b> seekers. But it must free the people who have been unfairly and illegally locked up.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">More than half (542) of the men in the Manus Island facility have been deemed refugees and are eligible for resettlement in PNG. More than 300 are still waiting for their claims to be assessed by the PNG government. Less than 10 per cent have been refused <b>asylum</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This nation retains an abiding legal and moral duty to care for <b>asylum</b> seekers who seek our protection.

Malcolm Turnbull is facing a “Tampa” test on border protection on the eve of the federal election campaign as Papua New Guinea moves to shut down the Manus ­Island detention centre, challenging the Prime Minister to outline a new way to enforce the Coalition’s tough line on people-smugglers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The federal government was scrambling to decide on a response last night after the O’Neill gov­ernment demanded “alternative ­arrangements” for the 905 ­<b>asylum</b>-seekers and refugees on the island, sparking renewed calls to settle them on Australian soil. The shock closure throws government policy into doubt and sets an immediate test for Mr Turnbull as he and his cabinet ministers ­struggle to ­deliver a consistent message on the strength of the government’s resolve.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten also confronts a test of his authority and political judgment as members of the Labor Left call for the closure of the Manus centre and an end to all offshore detention, sowing new ­divisions that could undermine his bid to become prime minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shutting down the centre ­dismantles a crucial part of the ­Pacific Solution put in place by John Howard before the 2001 election campaign, when he sent SAS troops to intercept the Norwegian freighter the Tampa to stop it bringing <b>asylum</b>-seekers to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The clash over the Tampa, when Labor struggled to contain its divisions and support Mr Howard’s harsh new measures, was central to the Coalition’s election victory less than three months later.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In an echo of those events, the federal government is vowing to prevent any of the Manus Island detainees from settling in ­Australia but cannot say whether it will have to rely more heavily on a similar detention centre on Nauru or on new options to settle ­detainees in Cambodia. Papua New Guinea Prime Minister Peter O’Neill declared yesterday that the centre would have to be shut down following a PNG ­Supreme Court decision that it was unconstitutional.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Signalling that he wanted more financial aid from Australia to deal with the problem, Mr O’Neill said he “did not anticipate” that the <b>asylum</b>-seekers would be kept as long as they were at the Manus centre and could accept them in PNG only if they wanted to be part of the community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a limited response last night, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton said the federal government “has not resiled” from its position that people who have tried to come to Australia by <b>boat</b> and were now in the Manus centre would not be settled in Australia. “We will continue discussions with the PNG government to resolve these matters,” Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia’s <b>asylum</b>-seeker agree­ment with PNG, formalised by Kevin Rudd weeks before the 2013 election, required at least $1.1 billion in spending on detention facilities over four years as well as $420 million in aid funding for road projects in other parts of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Speaking before Mr O’Neill’s statement late yesterday, Mr Turnbull said he could not provide a “definitive roadmap” in response to the PNG Supreme Court ­decision. Earlier yesterday, Defence Minister Marise Payne said the fate of the Manus Island ­detainees would be decided on a “case-by-case” basis.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By contrast, Mr Dutton was unequivocal that none of the <b>asylum</b>-seekers would be settled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Asked which of the two statements was correct, Scott Morrison echoed the Immigration Minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“No one on Manus Island is coming to Australia. Full stop,” the Treasurer said. Labor sought to blame the ­government for the problem by claiming it should have found an alternative to the “indefinite” detention of <b>asylum</b>-seekers on Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“When we reopened Manus Island to allow for regional pro­cess­ing, it wasn’t on the basis there would be neglectful, indefinite ­detention of people in these facil­ities,” Mr Shorten said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Regional processing means you sit down and talk to the ­nations of our region about ­accepting some of these people.” Mr Shorten did not say where <b>asylum</b>-seekers could be settled around the region. The opposition immigration spokesman Richard Marles declared it “critically important” that any closure of the centre did not spark the revival of the people-smuggling trade between Indonesia and Australia and that the system of offshore processing must be maintained.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“If it was me, I would be in PNG right now having a conversation with them about how this facility can continue in the context of the decision that has just been made and how the agreement that exists between Australia and PNG can continue,” Mr Marles said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“What I would not be doing is being here in Australia pretending nothing has happened, that it’s business as usual.” Mr O’Neill said his government would work with Australia to “seek to minimise damage to ­businesses and workers” affected by the centre’s closure, potentially giving Australia a chance to clinch a different deal with PNG.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Donald Rothwell, professor of international law at the Australian National University, said PNG had thrown the responsibility for the detention centre back on to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Whereas yesterday there were a number of options on the table, I think now the government’s going to have to respond fairly quickly to this,” Professor Rothwell said on Sky News.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“While the government today has been saying this was a legal issue for Papua New Guinea, and to a degree that was correct, this has now thrown the onus back on to Australia.” The Abbott government set aside $2bn over four years to process illegal maritime arrivals on Nauru and Manus Island in the 2013-14 mid-year economic and fiscal outlook.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There were 905 <b>asylum</b>-­seekers in the regional processing centre at the end of last month, with 482 found to be refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fifty-nine of those men had been moved to the East Lorengau <b>Refugee</b> Transit Centre on the ­island, leaving about 850 in the ­detention centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">MANUS ISLAND DETENTION CENTRE Reopened November 2012 1137 detainees in Oct 2013 Detainees peaked at 1353 in Jan 2014 905 detainees at March 31 482 declared as refugeesKevin Rudd expected to spend $1.1bn on centre; $420m in aid</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The verdict is in. After three years of false starts and halting progress, the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea has delivered judgment in a landmark case striking at the core of Australia's offshore processing regime in PNG. The ruling is clear and unanimous: the detention of 900 men at the Australian-built facility on Manus Island is illegal, unconstitutional and must end immediately.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The judgment confirms what we already knew. Since its earliest days, everyone from doctors to security guards warned that something was not right at the remote, fortified facility. Australian and international observers questioned why vulnerable people were being detained there at all, why there was no oversight or transparency, and why every aspect of the detention regime was shrouded in secrecy.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Two young men have died as a result of their illegal detention. Women and young children spent up to seven months in grossly inadequate conditions, before being brought back to Australia in mid-2013 without ever being processed. Rumours of gang rape, death threats and torture in a secret compound have proliferated, without ever being properly investigated. Meanwhile many of those who worked at the Manus detention centre - young Australians and hardened professionals alike - have returned deeply affected by what they saw offshore.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph"><b>Asylum</b> seekers, staff and international experts have all appealed to Australia to bring its immigration policies into line with international law, but their cries have fallen on deaf ears.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week's judgment does not just sound the death knell for detention on Manus Island: it is a scathing indictment of how the governments of Australia and PNG have conducted themselves since 2012. The court reminds these countries that depriving a person of their liberty is a serious act, permissible only in accordance with valid laws, and to the extent it is necessary and justified.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australia now has a choice. This judgment could mean a number of things for the 900 men still inside the Manus detention centre, and the handful of others "settled" in the PNG community.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">An optimistic person might expect freedom, for every <b>asylum</b> seeker and <b>refugee</b> on Manus to be released this week, and supported in the community while any outstanding claims are finalised and permanent solutions are found.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Logistically, the outcome is likely to be more complicated.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As an immediate move, the Australian and PNG governments could declare the Manus centre "open" . This was the approach taken on Nauru in October, just days before the High Court of Australia began to hear the case challenging detention on that island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the situation on Manus is not as simple. The Manus centre is on an active naval base, at least half an hour's drive from the town of Lorengau, in an area where land use and ownership are charged issues. Any proposal for completely unrestricted movement in these parts would likely trigger considerable concern on the part of Manus residents and the military.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Moving the men to the transit facility closer to Lorengau is an equally fraught option. Despite the hardships of detention, the vast majority of men recognised as refugees on Manus have refused to be relocated to this facility, despite the freedom and better living conditions. Whether from fear of being attacked, or because they do not wish to co-operate with their settlement in PNG, these men have long resisted pressure to move on. They are unlikely to change their stance now.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It is suggested the men be taken to Nauru, but that country already faces significant problems with <b>refugee</b> integration, and would provide no long-term solution for those men found to be refugees.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Which leaves Australia as the only reasonable option. The men on Manus should be brought back to the country in which they first sought <b>asylum</b>. It would then be for the government to decide whether to release them into the community on bridging visas or hold them in detention since, unlike in PNG, <b>asylum</b> seekers in Australia have no constitutional right to freedom (although they should still benefit from this right under international law).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">After the judgment, Immigration Minister Peter Dutton was quick to trot out the same old line. "No one who attempts to travel to Australia illegally by <b>boat</b> will settle in Australia," he declared, dismissing the ruling as "a matter for the PNG government". But this is not the time for mantras and responsibility shifting. The PNG judiciary has invited Australia to reconsider its approach to people seeking protection and to bring its <b>asylum</b> policies into line with international law.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They have set the standard, now the ball is squarely in Australia's court. What happens next is up to us.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Malcolm Turnbull confessed on Wednesday that he could not produce a "definitive road map" for his policy on <b>asylum</b> seekers, he may have delivered the understatement of his prime ministership.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What he had in mind was a map to circumvent a court decision in PNG and enable Australia's policy of punishing <b>asylum</b> seekers who came by <b>boat</b>, year after year on remote foreign islands, to trundle on uninterrupted.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">His expectation was that the PNG government, having benefited from billions of Australian taxpayer dollars, would conjure one up, most likely by opening the gates of the Manus Island detention centre and pretending inmates were no longer detained.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But two events, one in PNG, the other on Nauru, have highlighted the imperative to develop a completely new road map, one that finally ends the damage being inflicted on around 2000 <b>asylum</b> seekers on Manus Island and Nauru. First came another tragedy: the self-immolation of a young Iranian husband and <b>refugee</b> who was so consumed by despair that he decided to take his life, just as the <span class="companylink">UN <b>refugee</b> agency</span> was visiting the island to assess his plight.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It was another shocking reminder that many on Manus and Nauru have simply lost their ability to cope and are becoming more withdrawn, more depressed, less able to manage their emotions and more vulnerable to self-harm and suicide.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Then came the bombshell declaration from PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill the centre would close in light of the court decision and Australia would be asked "to make alternative arrangements for the <b>asylum</b> seekers".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here was something as remarkable as it was admirable, a government accepting a ruling from five of its most eminent judges on the most fundamental of human rights - the right to freedom.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The take-out should be an acceptance that both operations can no longer be justified and a more humane policy has to be developed - one that will minimise the risk of the people smuggling trade resuming. It should be to engage the <span class="companylink">UNHCR</span> in reaching agreements with resettlement countries, including the US, New Zealand and Canada, to take some of the caseload, with the remainder resettled in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This won't happen before the July 2 election, if it happens at all, because of politics. Border protection is one of the Coalition's most potent electoral weapons and Labor won't entertain any softening for fear of being hammered.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This invites conclusions the harm will continue, but the task of propping up a policy that punishes one group of people to send a message to another group has suddenly become much tougher.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He feared Omid was now "really dying" and questioned the delay in airlifting him to Australia. Asked why he believed Omid set himself alight, Arman said "we are in hell. Nauru is like a burning hell - all of us are suffering here."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A source at Nauru said the man, who lived in the community at the Nibok settlement, poured a 20-litre bottle of petrol over himself and cried "this is how tired we are, this action will prove how exhausted we are. I cannot take it any more."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">UNHCR regional representative Thomas Albrecht said his organisation was concerned about the "grave mental state of <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees" and urgent action was needed to prevent further suffering and address worsening mental health.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The drama over Manus Island could bolster the Coalition's election standing because its tough border policy has been considered a vote winner since John Howard's handling of the Tampa incident during the 2001 election.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Manus Island detention centre was declared unconstitutional by the PNG Supreme Court on Tuesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Respecting this ruling, Papua New Guinea will immediately ask the Australian government to make alternative arrangements for the <b>asylum</b> seekers currently held at the Regional Processing Centre," Mr O'Neill said late on Wednesday.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"As I stated recently at the Australian press club, we did not anticipate the <b>asylum</b> seekers to be kept as long as they have at the Manus centre."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In February, Foreign Minister Julie Bishop was reportedly in talks with Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia about resettling some <b>asylum</b> seekers in the centres.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About half of the island's 850 detainees believed to be refugees were given a sliver of hope on Wednesday morning when Defence Minister Marise Payne said each <b>asylum</b> seeker would be considered on a "case-by-case" basis, in contrast to Mr Dutton's blanket statement that no <b>asylum</b> seeker who attempted to arrive by <b>boat</b> would ever settle permanently in Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"That would be a matter for the minister and the government, and I think that would have to be considered on a case-by-case basis," Senator Payne told Seven's Sunrise program.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">She added the border protection policy had not changed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The mixed messages over the future of the detention centre led Immigration Minister Peter Dutton to go on the offensive, insisting that the Coalition's tough border protection stance was unswayed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Uncertainty over the future of the Manus Island centre - operated by Broadspectrum, formerly <span class="companylink">Transfield Services</span>, under a $1.2 billion government contract - has triggered a flurry of messages from <b>refugee</b> advocates in Australia to Manus Island detainees telling them to resist any deals to return to their home countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"I want to put out a special plea to those advocates, particularly those from Australia, who are messaging to people on Nauru, Manus and elsewhere," Mr Dutton said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The constant messaging from advocates, even if well-intentioned, to say, 'don't accept settlement package, don't return back to your country of origin' is not helpful, and it provides lots of false hope to these people who are in a very desperate situation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"The government's policy remains absolute and that is that we are not going to allow people to settle in our country if they've sought to come here illegally by <b>boat</b>."</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The <b>asylum</b>-seeker issue has reignited as a political headache less than a week before the Turnbull government's pre-election budget. The self-immolation on Wednesday of a 23-year-old Iranian man detained on Nauru also heightened tensions over Australia's treatment of <b>asylum</b> seekers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said he was unable to travel to PNG to hold talks because his PNG counterpart was overseas, but he said the Australian and PNG governments had been discussing Manus Island options since before Christmas when the court action was launched.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens leader Richard Di Natale said as part of the Greens' election platform it would push to extend Australia's humanitarian intake to 50,000 - far above the current intake for 2015-16 of 13,750 and the additional 12,000 Syrian refugees announced by former prime minister Tony Abbott.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Immigration Minister Peter Dutton says about 900 men being held at the Manus Island detention centre will not be brought to Australia after Papua New Guinea's Supreme Court ruled their detention was illegal.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The decision strikes one of the central pillars of the Turnbull government's border protection regime, just weeks out from an election campaign during which the government is expected to heavily spruik its <b>asylum</b> seeker record.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In a statement on Tuesday afternoon, Mr Dutton said the legal proceedings did not alter Australia's border protection policies, which "remain unchanged".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The court ruled the detention breached the constitutional right of <b>asylum</b> seekers to personal liberty. It ordered Australia and PNG to immediately cease the "unconstitutional and illegal detention of <b>asylum</b> seekers" at Manus Island, and stop the breach of their human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the scale of this task is reflected in the fact that only eight of more than 1000 <b>asylum</b> seekers who were held in the centre have moved into the PNG community. Three of these refugees returned to Manus Island and attempted to re-enter the island's transit centre and two were arrested.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The vast majority of men in the detention centre have been found to be refugees. The court ruling said they were seeking <b>asylum</b> in Australia but were "forcefully brought into PNG" and locked in an Australian-funded centre "enclosed with razor wire".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said no one who attempts to travel to Australia "illegally" by <b>boat</b> will settle in Australia. "The government will not allow a return to the chaos of the years of the Rudd-Gillard Labor governments when regional processing was initiated to deal with the overwhelming illegal arrivals of more than 50,000 people," he said, adding the agreement with PNG was negotiated by Labor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mr Dutton said refugees could resettle in PNG and those whose claims were rejected should return to their country of origin.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Labor immigration spokesman Richard Marles said the ruling was "of significant concern" and that Mr Dutton should hold urgent talks with the PNG government.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"Labor is seeking an assurance from the government that it has a contingency plan to deal with today's ruling. This decision, and our government's response, will be monitored by people smuggling networks," Mr Marles said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He said the original agreement Labor struck did not intend for Manus Island to be "a punitive place of indefinite detention" and claimed the government had failed to properly manage its offshore processing network.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">PNG immigration authorities attempted to prepare for an adverse decision by signalling their intention to move refugees into the transit centre in Lorengau. But the preparations were resisted by <b>asylum</b> seekers, including those who refused to have their claims for <b>refugee</b> status assessed on the grounds that they had been taken to PNG against their will.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This week the PNG immigration department asserted 542 refugees had been offered resettlement in PNG, including just 74 who had moved to the transit centre.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Greens immigration spokeswoman Sarah Hanson-Young said the court ruling showed Australia "has been illegally detaining refugees on Manus Island for years".</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Australian Lawyers Alliance spokesman Greg Barns said the ruling meant <b>asylum</b> seekers could likely make successful claims for damages for false imprisonment, and strengthened claims that Australia had breached its duty of care to <b>asylum</b> seekers. "If Australia ignores the decision then it is contradicting its oft-stated claim that Manus Island detention is a matter for PNG jurisdiction," he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Human Rights Watch Australia director Elaine Pearson said the ruling was a "massive victory for <b>asylum</b> seekers and refugees" who had been detained for almost three years. "It's time for the Manus detention centre to be closed once and for all," she said.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both governments have been ordered to "take all steps necessary to cease and prevent the continued unconstitutional and illegal detention of the <b>asylum</b> seekers" and the ongoing breach of their human rights.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both will now be scrambling to find some way to circumvent the decision and continue a policy that seeks to deter <b>boat</b> arrivals by subjecting those who have already come to ongoing punishment, harm and misery.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One way around the decision is for the PNG parliament to pass another constitutional amendment or other legislation to make the detention lawful. This is problematic on two fronts: whether Prime Minister Peter O'Neill has the appetite to push it it; and whether it would pass.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Another is be to declare the detention centre an "open facility", as happened in Nauru, but this would be a much greater challenge on Manus, where resentments remain strong from the 2014 riots.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It would also be more challenging because the detention centre is so far from the island's only town and because more than 300 of the <b>asylum</b> seekers have not had their claims processed.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">"They won't be coming to Australia", is the predictable, knee-jerk response from Immigration Minister Peter Dutton, but they should be brought here, even if some are ultimately resettled elsewhere.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Rather than try to prop up a punitive, immoral and now illegal policy, the focus should be on developing a humane alternative based on regional co-operation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Such a policy could see an agreement for returning <b>boat</b> arrivals to transit countries for processing, provided their human rights were respected, and the refugees on Manus and Nauru resettled in Australia, New Zealand, the US and other developed countries.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Releasing about 900 men into the Manus community is impossible on logistical and practical grounds, including the hostility of locals to any such a proposition. The same goes for relocating them to PNG's major cities, Port Moresby and Lae.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Transporting them to Nauru is not a viable option for similar reasons: its already strained infrastructure could not cope.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The unsustainability of the whole exercise is demonstrated by the statistics. Despite the promise that those found to be refugees would be resettled in the first half or 2014, only eight refugees out of more than 1000 are no longer institutionalised.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Three found life in Lae so threatening and unbearable that they returned to Manus Island.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This leads to a third possible response from the PNG government: to tell Australia it is no longer bound by the agreement and to find another way to solve its problem - to declare enough is enough.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">From those early days in Sydney learning English by day and delivering pizzas at night, he last week spent just shy of $80 million for four properties in Vaucluse to build his own private compound.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Last year the 58-year-old entrepreneur made his debut on the BRW Rich List with a net worth of $308 million, thanks largely to his 55 per cent stake in Menulog.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Born in the Ukraine and schooled in Siberia before he graduated with an economics degree from the Moscow Academy of Management, Kamenev is set to be the owner of the most expensive amalgamation of properties in Australia once last week's deal settles at just shy of $80 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The Australian record for a single house sale stands at $70 million for the nearby non-waterfront mansion La Mer, sold by James and Erica Packer last August to businessman Chau Chak Wang.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Despite no details forthcoming from Elliott Placks, of Ray White Double Bay, a source said a breakdown of the sale included $60 million for the double waterfront properties owned by the Shein family, and almost $20 million divided between the two, smaller street-front properties.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Colleen Shein, wife of technology entrepreneur and former <span class="companylink">Fairfax Media</span> board member David Shein, first bought on Coolong Road in 2000 for $7.4 million, ending 90 years of ownership by the Todhunter family. The residence has since been rebuilt. Shein added the neighbouring waterfront property with a <b>boat</b> shed for $14.05 million in 2010.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The two waterfront properties are set on almost 3000 square metres of deep waterfrontage.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The remaining two houses are both non-waterfronts, the smallest of which was bought by Julia Singer, wife of lawyer Simon Singer, in 2013 for $5.51 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Businessman Avron Cohen and his wife Jean have owned their street-front home with a swimming pool since 1995 when they purchased it for $1.3 million. The combined land involved in the deal is 4270 square metres, and at $80 million would incur an estimated stamp duty of $5.54 million.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The amalgamated 4270-square-metre holding nearly restores the original Todhunter family estate.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The flow of refugees has ended, but the detention centres and dodgy deals are scandalous.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats have stopped, but Australia hasn't won. The "solution" has instead created festering problems that will keep getting worse. Our leaders surely know this, yet despite a looming election and the chance to debate sensible change, they seem determined to pretend the current policy can be sustained. Not forever, it can't.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It's only when you stand back, take stock, and look beyond the usual focus on people languishing in detention, that the full cost of Australia's present approach to <b>asylum</b> seekers becomes clear.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The price is lost national influence, diminished stature and complicity in sour governance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Some problems are blindingly obvious: the tap of crystal champagne flutes in Cambodia as then immigration minister Scott Morrison coddled the odious regime of Hun Sen, the region's longest-serving autocrat. Australia's $55 million promise saw a total of four refugees settled, and even Cambodia admits the deal was a failure (although the money probably softens the disappointment for Hun Sen).</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How will the Cambodia deal be explained in what shapes as a difficult campaign for Australia to win a place on the United Nations Human Rights Committee? You can bet our two competitors, France and Spain, will also be quick to highlight Australia's eager embrace of Sri Lanka after the country's vicious civil war, and the refusal to support the US, Britain and other close partners in calls for an international war crimes investigation.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">
Tony Abbott's hollow talk of the importance of values in foreign policy was exposed after Sri Lanka's Mahinda Rajapaksa was thrown out of power amid persistent claims of abuse and corruption, only for his successor to concede Australia's silence on human rights was the price for co-operation to stop <b>asylum</b>-seeker boats.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Add to this Australia's beguiling attempt to win over Kyrgyzstan to offload refugees. Ditto extraordinary requests to the Philippines and Solomon Islands.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course, Europe has its own <b>refugee</b> crisis and resulting moral compromises. There is no doubt that Australia can make an clever argument about flawed ideals in the international system and the need to account for modern realities, such as reckless criminal syndicates of smugglers putting people's lives at risk. If only the issue stopped there.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But the real storm clouds around Australia's <b>refugee</b> policy are gathering closer to home. Last year, Australia's chief diplomat, Peter Varghese, made a sensible declaration, that "perhaps more than any other single relationship, the state of our relationship with PNG is seen as a barometer of Australian foreign policy success". It's our closest neighbour, and a fragile one at that.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But in desperation to stop the boats, Australia has hopelessly compromised this critical relationship. As long as the Manus Island detention centre is open, Australia is a beggar to PNG's good graces.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The latest example is the $400 million pay-off that was needed to win support from PNG to never settle refugees arriving by <b>boat</b> in Australia - a promise to go 50-50 in the cost to build a stunning new hospital in the country's second-largest city of Lae. It emerged last week PNG now can't afford its half, and has hinted Australia should pay extra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">If Port Moresby really put pressure on and threatened the Manus Island operation, can you really imagine Australia not paying?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That's only money. The bigger concern is credibility. At a press conference in 2012, when Julia Gillard announced Labor would resurrect the Pacific solution, I asked her how Australia would be able to raise concern over dodgy practices in PNG if we relied on it to process people seeking <b>asylum</b>.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Only a few months earlier, Gillard had been vocal, expressing Australia's dismay over a constitutional crisis in Port Moresby that saw the country with two prime ministers and two police chiefs and the very real threat of chaos.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But Gillard insisted nothing would change with Manus Island. "Look, we will always raise our voice appropriately about international matters," she assured.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Fast-forward to today, where PNG is transfixed by drama after anti-corruption police arrested the nation's attorney-general, only to be themselves suspended from duty by a police chief appointed by the prime minister - the same prime minister facing a warrant over fraud allegations. Rival police were in open confrontation on the street in Port Moresby.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">And Australia's voice has barely been heard.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Look also at Nauru, the other nation roped into the so-called Pacific solution. <span class="companylink">Facebook</span> is banned and opposition MP are excluded from parliament. Now <span class="companylink">Westpac</span>, one of Australia's big banks, has decided it wants nothing to do with the place. <span class="companylink">Westpac</span> is not satisfied the tiny Pacific country complies with anti-money laundering obligations, and has given Nauru and any companies with ties to the government until the end of April to find another bank. How is this for an exquisite pickle for the Turnbull government - should Nauru not find a bank willing to take its business in the next week, will Australia guarantee the country's finances to keep the <b>refugee</b> processing centre running? How is gainsaying <span class="companylink">Westpac</span>'s concern about money laundering on Nauru going to be explained amid all the complaints over bank behaviour and calls for a royal commission?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The boats have stopped, and without them, so too has the chest beating, dog whistling and community convulsions. This offers a chance to do better. The need to save lives at sea is an often-invoked defence of Australia's policy. But no lives are put at risk by acknowledging the deficiencies of the present approach - and thinking hard about how to fix them.</p>

<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Memo to all would-be child kidnappers seeking <b>asylum</b> in a foreign country: Don’t run into trouble outside business hours.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 9pm on the evening of April 6 Sally Faulkner was sitting between the two single beds in a small one-bedroom “safe house’’ in the poor, shelled-out area of Sabra in Beirut, desperately ringing the Australian embassy in Lebanon. On the first try, no one answered. On the second, a security official told her to ring back the following morning when the office was open. Plans to be quickly rescued by Australian officials — and getting some assistance to escape Lebanon — evaporated through the night.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">How different the saga of the past fortnight might have played out if Faulkner had managed to get inside the embassy grounds and obtain some limited diplomatic protection for her children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Instead, on this first evening back with their mother in nearly a year, Faulkner’s children, Lahela, 5, and Noah, 3, were sleeping peacefully in the safe house.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It had been the former Brisbane air hostess’ happiest yet most tumultuous day, and she was alternatively resting on pillows, with arms outstretched to cuddle both children, or fretting about getting out of the country.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The kidnapping of the children had gone off reasonably well. The Lebanon weightlifting champion and occasional government driver Mohammed Hamza, 26, had scouted the location and organised the rental car, driven by his civil service friend Khaled Barbour. Barbour had only been asked the day before if he could help out driving some media around town and never received any payment.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Faulkner had been in the back of the car to reassure the children all was well even though their grandmother Ibtissam Berri was knocked to the ground in the melee, allegedly by the burly Cypriot tattoo artist Craig Michael.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The 60 Minutes cameraman Ben Williamson had captured all of the intense but quick action near the bus stop in Hadath, the middle of Hezbollah-controlled Beirut.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now crammed with the two children, Barbour drove the car to the frenetic Beirut suburb of Sabra at the request of a phone call from the chief planner Adam Whittington, a dual Australian and British passport holder who lives in Sweden. Whittington, 40, had been an accomplished but controversial child snatcher, returning children to parents with appropriate custody orders in the previous few years, and he believed Faulkner’s orders giving her custody issued in December 2015 from the Australian Family Court were legally binding.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For the past four months Whittington’s Lebanese contact Hamza — introduced to Whittington by Hamza’s older brother, who lives in Sweden — researched the area. Whittington sent him the co-ordinates on a Google map and asked for as much detail about the area as possible. He was to be paid $US500, Hamza said. Around this time Whittington received the first of two payments totalling $115,000 directly from the Channel 9 accounts department. Barbour’s carload of people and the accompanying vehicle believed to contain the 60 Minutes crew arrived in Sabra.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">They suddenly imposed themselves on Hamza’s mother Yasmine and quickly reorganised the room into a mini-studio. She had no notice that a film crew, child recovery experts, a mother and two children would descend on her tiny second-floor apartment where five people sleep squeezed into the solo bedroom and on the couch in the lounge room, but she immediately offered them apricot juice.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Alarm bells for Faulkner must have been ringing at this point. The entry into the apartment block was a rabbit warren of dank concrete rubble corridors between two fishmongers, dangling electrical wires — and the first impressions didn’t improve with a large, gag-inducing pile of rotting garbage on the first floor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This was a far cry from the plush $1000-a-night of the Movenpick Hotel where the television crew were based, and the planned three-star safe house hotel, the Napoleon, in Hamra St.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Undeterred, the crew spent the morning filming the happy reunion inside the Hamza family flat: Sally playing with the kids on the rug, Sally feeding the kids cucumber and chicken, Sally with a beaming smile that didn’t leave her face, and young Lehala squealing with delight that she was to return to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Both Craig and Whittington left once the filming began to get the next stage underway — the planned getaway via the Mediterranean to Cyprus.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Don’t come until I ring,’’ Whittington said to the others, who continued to film and interview Faulkner.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">About three hours after the snatch, Williamson got Faulkner to go out the front into the busy market street, which was chaotic and colourful — great background for television — and encouraged her to make a phone call to her husband, Ali Elamine. Mohammed Hamza’s sister Sara was there to watch the action.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ben said “Ring Ali now, tell him the children are with you,’’ Sara told The Saturday Telegraph during a visit to the safe house this week.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">That encouragement, perhaps to capture some of drama of the moment, was acted on at 10.50am and was to prove the fatal flaw in the plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Across town by this point, Faulkner’s estranged husband was already in action. Immediately after being knocked to the ground and seeing the kidnap car race down the street, Mrs Berri rang her son. He made a flurry of phone calls to the police, then to the Australian embassy and then to Faulkner’s phone. He had sensed being surveilled for months and had been tipped off that Faulkner was planning to try to grab the children.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“She had shopped around before she chose Whittington’s company,’’ Elamine said. He was angry they had succeeded on his patch, just a few hundred metres from his middle-class apartment. “I called the embassy but they didn’t open until 9 o’clock and I couldn’t wait for everything to open. I had to find my kids,” he said.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Elamine claimed to be aware Hamza had spent at least two months assessing the area and that the children’s emails had alerted him to a kidnap plot. But Whittington believes another person may have been actively passing on information to Elamine, having been kept in the loop from Faulkner, who had been seeking reassurance on some details of his kidnap plan.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">As the clock ticked past nine o’clock, Elamine finally received a call back from the Australian embassy and he was asked if Faulkner had a criminal record in Lebanon. He said all he wanted to know was if Faulkner had the kids but the diplomats refused to tell him “so I hung up”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">By this time Whittington was down at the Beirut marina, finalising the getaway motor-cruiser Kaboypaki, the <b>boat</b> hired for him in Cyprus by the man alleged to have done the snatch, tattooist Craig Michael.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Those back at the Hamza family flat were waiting for Whittington’s call to make their getaway on the <b>boat</b>. But the call never came.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Unbeknown to them the conversation between Faulkner and Elamine — all captured by Channel 9 — had been made on a phone registered to Whittington.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“I will let you see the kids if you want, don’t worry Ali,” Sally reassured him. But Elamine was ropeable: “Bring them right back, right back now, it’s better for you if you do.” The police were able to track down Whittington through the phone and his hotel registration, and police arrested him on the docks. All they had to do then was wait for the 60 Minutes crew to return to the hotel and walk straight into handcuffs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First to fall into the trap was Rice, who left for the Movenpick at about 7.30pm wondering what could possibly have gone wrong. An hour later Brown, Ballment and Williamson packed up the cameras and also departed, leaving just Faulkner and the children in the flat with the Hamza family. Just 30 minutes later Faulkner began to panic when she could not contact Whittington or any of the 60 Minutes crew, and tried desperately to contact the embassy. Mrs Hamza let Faulkner rest with the children in the bedroom while the family slept on the two couches in the living room.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">At 12.50pm, when Faulkner was dressing the children, a team of 10 heavily armed police burst into the flat. Mrs Hamza rang her carpenter husband and also called Mohammed, who was working two minutes down the road, but when he entered he too was arrested. It was, by all who witnessed the police raid, an extremely distressing time. Mrs Hamza said: “They pulled a gun on me and arrested Mohammed in front of the kids. He had known some of those people who arrested him and four of them were beating him.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Lahela was screaming and Noah was very upset.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“Sally was telling the police to stop yelling at her and that she wanted to finish dressing the kids first before she would let them take her and the kids away.” The police then organised for Elamine and his brother to pick up Lahela and Noah from the Hadath police station.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Mrs Hamza insisted that Faulkner was a loving mother and the children were “really really happy” to be with her.Now, two weeks on, Faulkner has left Lebanon a free woman, but shackled by emotional ties, having had to give up custody of the children. Mrs Hamza, who did nothing but try to be a generous host to Elamine’s children, has found her own son beaten and in jail and she is too poor to pay his legal costs. Elamine dropped the charges against the TV crew and Faulkner, but has refused to drop charges against the kidnap crew.</p>

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What works in opposition can fail when the spotlight turns away from the government</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">It used to be the worst job in politics. Now it is all too easy. The office of the opposition leader has ruined politicians in the past. Leaders such as John Hewson, Mark Latham and Brendan Nelson enjoyed brief moments of promise before being cut down by internal bickering and a more accomplished prime minister.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Bill Shorten has learned from their misery. The Labor leader has found a formula that makes the job much more comfortable. It is a safe approach that lets him set the agenda and put Malcolm Turnbull on the back foot, shown again this week by the government’s rush to release its crackdown on the banks so it could counter Labor’s call for a royal commission. The question is whether the Shorten formula can survive a long and exhausting election campaign.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yes, the opposition leader’s job can be hard. But it is all the more difficult if you make it so. The lesson of the past decade is to avoid that pitfall at all costs.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s defining moment in this term, his budget reply speech in May 2014, set the tone for his leadership. “If you want an election, try us,” he dared Tony Abbott. “If you think Labor is too weak, bring it on.” He gave no quarter on the Coalition’s agenda, blocked more than $18 billion in budget savings and took advantage of Joe Hockey’s confused signals about a “budget emergency” to make the debate about “fairness” instead.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The template was carved that month. Shorten has used it ever since to thwart the government at every turn, helped by a Senate crossbench that objects to unpopular change — as if it is pos­sible to run the country without making difficult decisions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten also has held the Labor base, an essential exercise after the feuds of the Rudd and Gillard years, and made it almost laughable for Labor MPs to mutter, as recently as last month, about switching to a better leader. Who would that be?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet Shorten has become more like Abbott than he would like to admit. His focus is on complaint, not compromise.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Think of Abbott, as opposition leader, blocking the Labor government’s Malaysia Solution on <b>asylum</b>-seekers in 2011. The Malaysia Solution might not have worked but the government needed the support of parliament to overcome the obstacle of the High Court. Abbott chose a political objective — victory at all costs at the election — rather than risk meeting his opponent halfway.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Now consider the previous opposition leader who put himself in danger by moving to the middle ground.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull negotiated with Kevin Rudd on an emissions trading scheme in 2009 and was rewarded with relentless attacks from Labor in parliament, fuelling the unrest on the Coalition backbench that eventually brought him down.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Nobody has been so foolish since then. Opposition leaders seek all or nothing. Negotiation is not an option.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten has learned to play it safe. He has been disciplined in his public remarks, using sharp attack lines without being drawn into the details of his own policies.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s press conference on Tuesday showed how powerful this approach could be. He declared it was “day one” of the election campaign and seized the initiative while Turnbull prevaricated over whether he had technically “called” the election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Next, Shorten attacked Turnbull on health and education without any commitment on how Labor would cut spending, produce a budget surplus or offer tax relief for workers.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">This is easy work for an opposition leader. When Abbott was in power, Shorten would respond to questions about fixing the budget by saying he would start by getting rid of the government’s exorbitant paid parental leave scheme. Now that Turnbull is in office Shorten answers by demanding a crackdown on multinational tax cheats. Bear in mind that Labor’s tax crackdown would raise $720 million a year — useful cash but a long way short of the $18bn a year that Canberra spends on public hospitals every year.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Abbott and Turnbull have helped do Shorten’s work for him by being slow to neutralise these sorts of attacks. Would John Howard have found a way to put an opposition leader under pressure?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Shorten’s defenders argue that he has taken big risks. The decision to go to an election with $100bn in new taxes across a decade is a gutsy move. Even so, it is safe in the sense that it plays to the Labor base. In one area, <b>boat</b> turnbacks, Shorten risked the wrath of the Labor Left by moving closer to Coalition policy. In most other areas, such as tackling the power of the unions over the party he leads, he is no moderniser.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Yet history shows the cost of negative politics. A politician can be devastating in opposition and found wanting in government. Rudd got the better of Howard. Abbott made life hell for Rudd and then Julia Gillard. The skills that worked in opposition were not enough.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A successful transition is rare. The last opposition leader to survive in the job and then thrive as prime minister was Howard, who used his “headland” speeches in 1995 to position himself in the middle ground and, crucially, risk the ire of his own ideologues by branding himself the “best friend” of Medicare. Has Shorten done anything like this? While he has rallied the Labor base, he has not outlined a compelling new platform that forces his own side to accept a new direction.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull’s plan for a long campaign may yet pay off. In theory, every day of the campaign should brighten the spotlight on Shorten. His role as critic-in-chief must fall away as he puts himself forward as alternative prime minister.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In practice, it will be up to Turnbull to run a careful campaign — to avoid gaffes, maintain unity and ensure that some of the attention stays on Shorten. Turnbull’s performance so far shows that he is too complacent to enforce this discipline on himself and his team.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Turnbull believes he can win without flicking the switch to attack mode — that he can break from the whining politics that consumed so much of the last three terms. The great test of the coming campaign is whether politics moves beyond the Punch and Judy show of recent times.History shows that negativity works, of course. But it also shows that it is not enough to govern.</p>

The policy would provide a "dignity package" for <b>asylum</b> seekers waiting for their claims to be processed in Indonesia and Malaysia to discourage them from attempting to come to Australia by <b>boat</b>. It would also shut down the offshore detention centres on Manus Island and Nauru, saving an estimated $2.9billion over four years, most of which would be re-invested into "a fairer system that helps more people". The policy will be launched in the usually safe Labor seat of Batman in Melbourne on Saturday by Greens leader Richard Di Natale, the party's immigration spokeswoman, Sarah Hanson-Young, and its candidate for the seat, social worker Alex Bhathal. The Greens are targeting Batman as a potential gain in the double dissolution election expected on July 2. Senator Hanson-Young rejected the expected criticism from the Coalition and Labor that the policy will encourage people smugglers to resume their trade between Indonesia and Christmas Island. "This policy gives people a viable alternative," she said. "If we give people a viable alternative, they will take it. They don't want to have to pay people smugglers. They would prefer to work directly with the Australian authorities." Senator Hanson-Young has also called on Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull to allow a woman, allegedly raped on Nauru while suffering an epileptic seizure, passage to Australia for a termination. 'The case was another example of why centres on Nauru and Manus should no longer be used to hold refugees and <b>asylum</b> seekers indefinitely, she said. Under the policy, Australia's intake would rise from 13,750 to 50,000 a year; $500million would be provided over four years to support organisations such as the <span class="companylink">United Nations <b>refugee</b> agency</span> in the region; and "dignity packages" would be given to <b>asylum</b> seekers.

<tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>LP</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our neighbour is full of energy and extremism</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">You can get into as much trouble falling in love with the wrong city as you can falling in love with the wrong person. But, the noxious burden of its traffic aside, it’s hard not to fall in love with Jakarta, if you spend any time there.</p>
</td></tr><tr><td align="right" valign="top" class="index"><p><b>TD</b>&nbsp;</p></td><td><p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">First, everyone is kind to you (except for that microscopic minority who might try to blow you up). Second, everyone is accessible at some point. And third, everyone has voluble opinions on all subjects that they’re happy to share with you. And with 10 million ­people (20 million in the larger conurbation), there’s plenty of human variety.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Recently, I spent a week in Jakarta taking the temperature on ­Indonesian views of Australia, and the Indonesian debate about political Islam, and just generally losing myself in its high-energy politics and raucous debates about everything.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One day, with some Australian colleagues, I went to see the Governor of Jakarta, Basuki Tjahaja Purnama, better known as Ahok. Ahok is a modern Indonesian phenomenon. He is an ethnic Chinese Christian, the first such anomaly to be governor of Jakarta. You have no idea how strange this is in modern Indonesia, which is 90 per cent Muslim. It would be roughly the equivalent of having a Lebanese Muslim as premier of NSW.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">We wait placidly to interview Ahok in a large formal sitting room in the grand old Dutch building used for city government when an official instructs us to follow him next door. All unprepared I walk through the door and am suddenly being photographed, filmed, and questioned by scores of Indonesian journalists and bloggers as though I were George Clooney leaving a cafe on the Amalfi coast pursued by the paparazzi. Soon I figure in a thousand tweets.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">The paparazzi are not there for me of course, but for Ahok, who has recruited us into his latest civic scheme — certifying the healthful edibility of roadside food stalls. I was, briefly, food taster and visual prop.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">When Ahok came to sit down and talk to us he didn’t disappoint for colour or substance.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">A chunky, voluble, forthright man, in that high-speed, staccato Chinese way, he tells us that if he became president of Indonesia this would put the roof on the house of Pancasila, the official ­Indonesian state ideology of tolerance of the main religions.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He has a pretty direct approach about religious tolerance: “The FPI (Islamic Defenders Front) attack me and send demonstrators. They don’t want me as a non-Muslim to be Governor of Jakarta. I say come right in to my office. If they want to fight me maybe they can, I still got muscles.” He tells the story of the late Gus Dur, legendary leader of a huge Muslim organisation and later president of Indonesia, offering to send 2000 Muslim militia to defend Ahok’s right to hold office at an earlier stage of his career. Ahok was vice-governor to Joko Widodo before Joko became president, so inherited his current job. And he would like to be Joko’s vice-presidential running mate at the next election.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Here’s an Ahok riff on his philosophy of government: “I’m not too smart, not too stupid, just middle. To be vice-governor of Jakarta you don’t need good brains, just good muscle to do the work. I’m like <span class="companylink">Nike</span> advertisement — Just Do It! Many people offer to teach me good communications. I don’t care about that.” Ahok is certainly a sign of changing times in Indonesian politics, although it’s always been pretty colourful and diverse. He has nice things to say about his Australian friends, but although Indonesians almost always say things to you nicely, it’s not always positive when they talk about Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Across the city at the national parliament I meet Dave Loksano, a rising politician in the nationalist Golkar Party.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">He is a member of parliament’s Commission 1, which looks after foreign affairs and defence, and he is almost as friendly as Ahok, but not quite as obliging in what he says: “Indonesians see that in Australia before an election it helps Australian politicians to go hard in criticism against Indonesia. A lot of Indonesians therefore feel that Australia is on the other side from Indonesia. Australia is not seen as a direct threat to Indonesia but may be seen as on the other side, as a competitor.” But surely, I put it to him, all the Indonesians who live and study and work and holiday in Australia find themselves welcome? Indeed, Australia is the most popular destination in the world for Indonesians studying abroad. “It’s true,” he replies, “when I go down to Australia I don’t feel any hostility, but I see it in the media and we read it on our devices in Indonesia.” But you don’t need to travel very far in Jakarta to hear contradictory views, and I hear those from Dino Djalal. Dino is an old friend. I have known him so long I cannot remember where or when or how we met. Yet he is perennially youthful.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">For most of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono’s presidency, Dino was the presidential spokesman. Then he spent a couple of years in Washington as Indonesia’s ambassador to the US, before returning as assistant foreign minister. Now he exists in that strange nether world — half celebrity, half think tank leader, part foreign policy guru, part media fixture.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">I happened to be in Jakarta towards the end of SBY’s presidency, nearly two years ago, and went to lunch with Dino and a few other palace officials. At that time the bugging scandal, in which it was revealed Australian intelligence had tapped the phones of Indonesia’s president, first lady and senior officials, was much in the air.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">What will you do after SBY leaves office, I asked Dino. “I don’t know,” he joked. “Maybe the Australians will offer me a job. At least I know they’ve got my phone number.” On this most recent visit I attended a presentation Dino gave on Indonesia’s foreign policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“SBY transformed Indonesia’s relations with Australia,” he says. And, notwithstanding a few glitches, the transformation is holding. “Right now the Australian relationship has been normalised at the top level,” Dino continued. “But I think it’s in the people-to-people area that the real resilience of the relationship lies. Of all the Western nations, Australia is closest to us and Australians know and understand us the best, so Australia is an asset to us.” In any official Indonesian setting, if you ask, you will certainly hear some criticism of Australia’s policies on <b>asylum</b>-seekers, especially the turn back the boats policy.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Over at the grand colonial building which houses the foreign ministry, a highlight of the week in Jakarta is meeting Indonesia’s first female Foreign Minister, Retno Marsudi. She starts our meeting almost as surprisingly as Ahok did. For when she meets our group she comes over to where I am sitting and says: “Greg, do you remember when we had dinner together in Canberra?” This question demonstrates ­either prodigious memory on her part, or prodigious staff work, but it is true that over a quarter of a century ago she was the junior press attache in the Indonesian embassy in Canberra and, with Wahid ­Supriyadi, now Indonesia’s ambassador in Moscow, we did once dine at a Chinese restaurant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">But this friendly personalism, this valuing of old friendships and old relationships, is the very stuff of Indonesia, and it has a charm beyond measure.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Marsudi’s primary message about the relationship is positive. “For Indonesia, Australia is very important,” she says. “Indonesia and Australia must have a good relationship. I have very good communication with my colleague, Julie Bishop. From time to time we have to improve on the lack of trust between our two nations.” When someone asks her about Australia’s <b>boat</b> people policy, she is politely critical, acknowledging that the two nations have continuing differences. On <b>boat</b> turnbacks, she says, “it’s still an issue now and I think there will still be some more to go in the future”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">“This is not an Indonesian problem, it’s an international problem and we cannot solve the problem on our own,” she says. “We need to involve as many ­nations as possible, nations of origin, transit and destination”.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Canberra argues vociferously that it has never refouled (returned an <b>asylum</b>-seeker to persecution) anyone. No one with a well-grounded fear of persecution is ever returned to the country where they might face persecution. People are returned, however, to countries from which they have made secondary movements, that is, countries where they are not being persecuted but which have inferior living standards to Australia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">There is now a ritual quality to this policy disagreement between the two countries. So long as the boats don’t start up again, it won’t become a major issue in the media and therefore is unlikely to cause real trouble. But it’s there, like a subdued toothache, ready to flare up again some time.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">In the meantime, the two ­nations have agreed to start negotiations towards a free-trade agreement and Malcolm Turnbull and the Indonesian President bonded over a selfie.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Ever-present during our week in Indonesia was the changing character of Indonesian Islam. I came away assured of the strength of the moderates, and also the tenacity of the extremists. But many people, many Indonesians, told me they thought the character of Islam in their nation was becoming more conservative and a tad less tolerant.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">One explanation for why this might be so was given, oddly enough, by US President Barack Obama to Malcolm Turnbull in a private meeting reported by The Atlantic magazine. In a seminal piece on Obama’s foreign policy, Jeffrey Goldberg records Obama meeting Turnbull at <span class="companylink">APEC</span>, shortly after Turnbull became Prime Minister, and telling him what had gone wrong with Indonesian Islam.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Goldberg, “Obama described how he has watched Indonesia gradually move from a relaxed, syncretistic Islam to a more fundamentalist, unforgiving interpretation; large numbers of Indonesian women, he observed, have now adopted the hijab, the Muslim head covering.” Our Prime Minister asked the President why was this so.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">According to Goldberg: “Because, Obama answered, the Saudis and other Gulf Arabs have funnelled money, and large numbers of imams and teachers, into the country. In the 1990s, the Saudis heavily funded Wahhabist madrassas, seminaries that teach the fundamentalist version of Islam favoured by the Saudi ruling family, Obama told Turnbull. Today, Islam in Indonesia is much more Arab in orientation than it was when he lived there, he said.” All the Muslims I met that week were mainstream and moderate, and not only claimed to be moderate but had the public record to prove it. And always, of course, the courtesy for a ­visitor.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Our little group visited Jakarta’s giant Istiqlal Mosque, and the gracious imam showed us around and offered me the chance to beat five times the giant gong used in part to call the faithful to prayer.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Of course just occasionally Indonesian courtesy can be a bit misleading. Years ago I went to interview the head of the extremist and violent Islamic Defenders’ Front who solicitously offered me tea and politely explained how his organisation wanted to sweep all foreigners out of Indonesia.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Even me?</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">No, no, no, he said, here is my card, if you ever find yourself in trouble with my people on the street, just show them this card.</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">Indonesia’s biggest Muslim organisations, Nahdlatul Ulama and Muhammadiyah especially, are genuine bulwarks against all extremism. But they have limits to their tolerance. I asked one of ­Muhammadiyah’s most senior leaders about the status of gay people in his organisation.“It’s never been discussed,” he replied. Ah Jakarta, so many layers, so many surprises.</p>

This collection is beautifully functional and deeply rooted in the traditional ideas of "Islamic Art", its beauty and use and celebrating how it goes hand in hand; they are two inseparable aspects of perfection." Also at Belconnen, Euan Graham considers the mythology around the "illegal" journeys undertaken by migrants who arrive in Australia by <b>boat</b>. "I worked with a young man who made such a journey in 2001, jammed in with other <b>asylum</b> seekers sharing the same goals, with no idea where they were headed, fleeing recruitment by the <span class="companylink">Taliban</span> in Afghanistan.

Kayak man in the Photography Room There's a new gallery down on the Foreshore, which is open by appointment and on Sundays, in the Old Bus Depot Markets. Paul Jurak, aka the Kayakcameraman, hasa selection of his choicest images taken on the lake,usually at dawn, from 2012 onwards. His early- morning forays began initially as part of his recovery from cancer, and have since become an integral part of his life, allowing him to begin each day with a sense of peace and</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">tranquillity. Which is exactly what you'll get just from looking at these photos. Jurak will be speaking about his work in the Solo Exhibition Gallery from 12-1pm on Sunday, April 10. The Photography Room is in the Old Bus Depot Markets, 21Wentworth Avenue, Kingston Foreshore. The gallery is directed by Sean Davey, a highly commended finalist in this year's National Photographic Portrait Prize at the <span class="companylink">National Portrait Gallery</span>.

Animal, Vegetable, Mineral at ANCA We are so hanging out for this show! Canberra sculptor Rosalind Lemoh has a new solo show at ANCA that explores "the transformative interchange between humans, animals, plants and minerals". "The gentle playfulness of the title Animal, Vegetable, Mineral beguiles the sense of gravitas that pervades the exhibition. There is a strong use of raw and weathered materials pitched against the conceptual undercurrent of the works that explore the human condition - the fear of death or the fascination with flight as a metaphor for transcendence. Lemoh's eclectic mix of sculptures explores aspects of the natural world such as skin and surfaces, self-defence and</p>
<p class="articleParagraph enarticleParagraph">protection, herding instincts and language, and present an unlikely collision of the past and the present." Animal, Vegetable, Mineral, by Rosalind Lemoh, is showing until April 24 at ANCA Gallery, 1 Rosevear Place, Dickson. Speech Acts at CCAS Nicci Haynes, known for quirky videos and prints documenting performance and her interest in "language and its limitations", has a new show opening this week atCCAS in Civic. "No method of conveying information ever seems adequate to translate my first-hand knowledge of the world into words," she says. Speech Acts is the "current manifestation of her ongoing struggle with linguistic systems". Speech Acts, by Nicci Haynes, opens April 13 at Canberra Contemporary Art Space, City Corner</p>

Bot and Blakebrough at Beaver Another beautiful new show by Canberra artist GW Bot is now showing at Beaver Galleries, with works that "engage with the environment in a topographic and metaphysical sense and can be interpreted as an allegory for a person's passage through life". "And ceramicist Les Blakebrough is showing works that are part of his ongoing investigation of the aesthetic and physical qualities of 'Southern Ice' porcelain ... All of Les' works have a luminous quality, revealing an extraordinary precision of technique and an uncompromising insistence on the harmonious unity of form, colour and surface treatment." Endangered Glyphs, by GW Bot, and Gathering Light, by Les Blakebrough, are showing until May 1 at Beaver Galleries, 81 Denison Street, Deakin. Northern Lights in Forrest Autumn in Canberra is about as far away from the Northern Lights as possible, so what better reason to be inspired by said lights? Art Song Canberra's Season of Song 2016 is presenting a program on Sunday of music from lands illuminated by the Aurora Borealis, featuring mezzo- soprano Christina Wilson, and Alan Hicks on piano. The program includes "songs and piano solos from Nordic composers including Edvard Grieg and Jean Sibelius, as well as Scottish favourites and Samuel Barber's Hermit Songs".
